Snails are in, tank is cycled. panning on getting LEDS by end of next month.... soooo im getting my first fish this week. I just dont know if i should get a YWG first or 2 Clowns... what do you folks think?
All leaks have been located and fixed. Rocks are back in and this time nothing is touching the back glass pain.Heater is now inside the sump, as it should be. Need to put the PH's back in. Light are back on top.. just dealing with a slight gurgling sound coming from the overflow but that's to be...

the LR will host the bacteria...
SOOOOOO. here was how my weekend panned out.
450gph return
700gph Drain... and fun dip =)
Moving the water and rocks to my 20g
Started by placing it outsideand locating the exact spot for the drain
To dark outside so i went to my basement. Set down the template, estimated and prayed...

So much has no changed its not even funny lol. I keep changing my mind on what direction to go in.

1) What kind of corals can i keep in this? I know that SPS is probably out of the question, but what LPS or Softies can i keep. would...

- I received my order of dry 20 lbs of reef saver from BRS, plus an adittional 3 lbs. very quickly cleared them...
2quills. after realizing how difficult it would be, and the risk of burning my place down, i decided to just go with a DJ power Switch like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Technical-Pro-PSB9-Switch-Panels/dp/B0029L7KRY. Def dont know why a fish supply hasnt made one specifically for aquariums...
