Everyone moved in today! Waiting for the corals to open back up and kinda mad I didn't paint the back of the tank blue, but other then that I'm happy!

Looks great! Btw, I just used a piece of black construction paper, under a piece of clear plastic, for the background (with tape for adhesive.)

Something that works better is, Walmart sells these black Styrofoam type poster boards that are about 1/6" thick that work amazing. They are 3'x2'

Looks great! Clever idea to turn a 20 long into an AIO. Nice size

I'm a bit curious about this. When you say all in one, what exactly is that in reference too?

There is internal filtration system behind a false wall in the tank.

I suppose that would make sense. I even saw the pics and didn't realize it. Thanks!!!

Cool tank.

 

[lovemyfish79]

All my corals have opened up already! Seems like everyone in liking the new setup, although I've only seen my hermit once

Looking great! Nice job with coral placement, when I put my first corals in they fell down lol (before I learned about using glue.)

 

[lovemyfish79]

Yeah I learned about the super glue pretty quick haha, going to attempt to make a light hood today I think. Right now I just have my old ten gallon hood sitting on top of my glass that's why there's no pics lol

Update, tank is doing great! Just added a firefish last Saturday and he finally came out of hiding and my clowns no longer want to attack him haha

 

[JJsChaos]

The tank looks great. I like the rock placement.

 

[lovemyfish79]

Thanks, that's after I rearranged them again, I didn't like them going so far up so I just spread them out
