New 20 gallon setup

[Macscale]

Same! What's your plan for this tank?

 

[Mr. FishMan]

I'd like to go full on reef, but we'll see what happens. Probably start with a few low-light softies and go from there. It all depends on what lights I end up getting.

Wow. I'm jealous right now. Compared to yours mine looks like s*** maybe I need to re-do it...

 

[Mr. FishMan]

Haha It can't be that bad, but thanks. I appreciate the kind words.

Hah it can. Heading to my LFS now.

 

[Mr. FishMan]

Ah, a trip to the LFS. That's always exciting. What do you plan on getting?

Just got back. I got another piece of live rock (the tower in the middle). A second clownfish. And some snails! Sorry it's cloudy I had to move things around!

 

[Mr. FishMan]

Right on. I'd add a lot more live rock if I were you, but that's not a bad start. It looks good.

[Macscale]

I am going to. Just taking it slow though.

 

[Macscale]

It's actually like 20lbs worth of it.

 

[Macscale]

What size tank do you have?

 

[Mr. FishMan]

Oh, my bad. I didn't realize you had that much already. Typically you want at least a pound per gallon, but I always like to add more. It gives you a larger surface area for beneficial bacteria to grow and increases the appeal of your tank IMO.

Tank is a 20 long with 50-60lbs of live rock.

You are right about the rock. Your tank looks great though. I'm still nervous about the orbit though. I am going to order is some time this week.

 

[Mr. FishMan]

Thanks. So you're set on getting the Orbit then?

[Macscale]

I think so. Unless I find a better alternative soon.

 

[nelix10]

I will sell you my orbit that I just replaced looks nice lots of useless functions, week lights! For the same price and a much more powerful light buildmyled.com

 

[Macscale]

I like the par 38s too. I don't want that much excess light though.

 

[nelix10]

I went with the par38 rapidled! I like them alot

 

[Macscale]

They aren't programable or anything though.
