Start a diary instead of starting new threads for videos and pics ect. Your just fiulling up the forum with thread of the same thing.
On another note.. nice looking tank..
Make this your main thread.. list what you have so far and your equipment ect. Then build from that when you have soemthing else to say!

SO just so I understand, I asume you are just saying to keep adding to this thread instead of making new threads each time? Thanks. I usually don't post on many forums so I have no real clue about them..

YUP that's what he is saying....I would list everything about your tank first....then of course your pics LOL....then each time you add something, or have a growth spurt, or a question....use this thread
I like your tank too....it looks good for 1 month...

Exactly what my mother said! lol
Plus with one thread its easier to get more people to know you, and continue to check out your tank, which will then result in people answering your questions and what not more often and quicker.
Start with your equipment, amount of LR, stock list, how long its been up for, any problems you encountered so far, maybe how you fixed them ect.
and like meowzer said when you get soemthing new, or see growth post some pics... or even if you want us to check out how cool your tank is.. post some more! We love pic's and videos!
Also where you from in Canada? I'm Canadian also..

Ok, so here is the stats on my tank.
It is a 20 gal, running an Aquaclear 50 filter, have an AquticLife mini internal 115 skimmer. The CoralLife lights on it with the normal light and antic. Only about 13 pounds of live rock with live sand.
CUC:
4 blue legged hermits
4 nassarius snails
1 cleaner shrimp
1 turbo snail
Also have 2 of the black and white stripe eel gobeys, not sure the proper name.
Frags:
1 Torch
1 mushroom
and 3 others im not sure of.
I think that covers about everything I have on the go so far. Any other suggestions would greatly be appreciated

Have youthought of setting up a fuge? You can acctually mod a filter if you dont want to go big and elaborate. I have a hang on back fuge for my 10g tank, which costed me $100 but its pretty easy to build if you have time.
Whats the out put on your light? watt's, type(pc metal halide t5o?).

Fuge? Not really sure what that is, i'm just learning as i go. Lights. Have 2 in the canopy, Coralife 10,000k f14-t5-bp, and Coralife Antic f14-t5-bp
I do have some old Fluval's left over from my freshwater tank that could be used for something if needed at all, Got a 104, and 204 i belive, can't rember off hand

I got a question. Looks like my cleaner shrimp shed over night. Should i leave the old husk in there or take it out? Is there any benefit if i do leave it in there?

I am noticing something new swimming around in my tank this morning and have no clue what they are. its just big enough that i can see it, not big enough to take a pic, will try and descrbe it the best i can. looks like i have a couple of there in there.
Looks like almost a perfect circle shape, kinda dark color. but as it swims, it reminds me a bit asto how a jelly fish would swims. I will try and get a pic, but i kinda doubt its gonna work

Has anyone tried to make a refuge out of an AquaClear 20 or 30? i'm considering on it and have done some reading how. Just currious if it actaully works or not? would it be worth while on my 20 gal tank
