Here's a couple pics of my Frogspawn. I walked into the LFS the other day and it was labeled 55$. I got confirmation on the price and immediately bought the thing. It's got about 7 heads right now. One with Actinics. One with all lights. One full tank shot (20 high (soon to add sump to...

Hey SignGuy, I thought about using an overflow box, but they're just so freakin' big for a 20. I bought one off the bay for my new 45 gallon, but I just think it would look too bulky for a 20H. Also, besides buying a used one, the cheapest I could find one was like 70 bucks online. It should...

Well? I've ordered the strainer overflow and plan to put it at the top w/ a stand pipe behind the tank. It's not too late for one of you knowledgable people to change my mind though. JAM

Hello Everyone, I'm moving all the filtration from my 20 display to a rubbermaid sump (new 13 G garbage can.) I've just got a couple of questions. 1. If I have 3 ft. of head and I get a mag 500 pump, can I just use a simple strainer type bulkhead like this one (1") with a durso behind it? Or...

That depends. You never really said what kind of lights you have.

Hey LA, I think you could probably have some pretty nice corals under the 130W Current lights. Over a 20 Gallon it works out to 6.5 Watts/gallon. I've had an LTA for about three weeks now and it seems to be functioning fairly well. Next month I plan on adding some real coral. All I've got...

Thanks Pete, I really like your tank(esp. the frogspawn and hammer). I hope mine will look that cool after a few months. It's kind of a balance between how fast I want my tank to grow and how much money I want to spend on it. I definately want to get some frogspawn and some other soft...

The lights are 24" Current Compact Flourescents. 1x65W Dual Spectrum Actinic + 1x65W Dual Daylight + 1 LED Moonlight. None of the pictures above have both lights on. When they're both on, they're bright enough that I don't need a flash on my camera. Oh, and they were like $120 from the Docs w/...

Here are a couple pics of my 20. I've currently got one false perc, one red cap goby, and one green clown goby. For some reason, the red-cap and the green clown don't get along too well. Whenever the green goby comes out in front the red head kinda chases him back behind the rocks. Full...

Hey Guys*, I just thought I'd post some pics now and a few pics after I rearrange the tank in a few weeks. Here's my current setup: 20 gallonTank + 5.5g Sump w/siphon CC Substrate 15lbs LR/12 lbs BR Coralife SS 65 HOB Filter Strainer Filter 130W Current Lights (1x65W Dual Daylight + 1x65 Dual...

"Research everything and ask the almighty boards before you purchase anything." Well, I just want to make sure these two gobies won't fight. Anyone? :help:

Hi, Just looking for some opinions on an addition. Right now, I've only got a green clown goby in my tank. My current setup has been running for about 2 months. 20H tank 5g sump (w/siphon and return pump) HOB filter (in sump) CSS 65 Protein Skimmer (in sump) Current 2x65W pc lights: 1 dual...

Yeah, the CSS is nice, but it does take up a lot of room in the tank if you're using it as a Hang-on-back skimmer. Also, the room it takes up has to be at the top of the tank so it's not easily hidden. It will pull plenty of gunk out of the water, though. I've got one on my 20H.

I'm new here, so I'm not going to berate you on the tang thing based only on the fact that I'm no expert. But seriously, I hate it when people ask a question and then completely disregard the answer. Bottom line, if you think you know more than the person your asking, then just don't f*&^#$g...

That's a pretty sweet tank man. I like how the LR is stacked. I'm sure your fish likes to swim through it constantly. If my Domino doesn't work out(too aggressive), I might pick up a firefish to replace him.

I live close to Carowinds on 49. Thanks for the input about the lights, but this is going to be pretty much a FOWLR with maybe some zoos or mushrooms/possibly a sebae anemone eventually. I shouldn't need more than 45W of normal lights with quality bulbs for any of that stuff, should I? If so...

First of all, it was just a joke Love. Here's a little East Coast Math for you. (Woman - Curves) = Boy. Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I'll S_can the air pump before I put the fish back in and I guess I'll tack on another 20$ for a powerhead to the equipment order I'm placing next week...

Replace the Air Pump w/ a Powerhead to move some water? If so, what kind for a 20? Also, what kind of damage do air pumps do? Just to corals or negative effect on entire tank/water chemistry? Thanks for the input.

Thanks Crazz. The Main Tank is a 20H from Wally World (69.99 + air pump + quality filter media). I just put the actinic bulb in yesterday and I'm planning on getting double light setup next week(1 actinic, 2 full). The cup, the mason jar, and the vase are just in the HT to give the fish some...

Hi, I've been reading for a few weeks, finding out just how much I don't know and how cheap my setup actually is. Thought I'd finally post a few pics of my newb setup. I had the blue damsel, 10 lbs of rock, and CC in the 20 for a few weeks. Bought another 10 lbs of LR and a black domino...
