20 Gallon "Diary"

Hey everyone, so as i'm sure some of you know, I got upset with SW for a while, but thats over with, who can resist? No one, that is the answer. LOL
So my mom was in a car accident, (Don't worry she's much better) and the insurence is paying us (the kids) for doing housework for her while she's unable to (lol, nothing new :) im almost as much a clean-freak as her) So i'm getting about $150 for about 3 weeks of helping out so, i'm going to do a small little "Diary" of what i'm going to do with the money. And i'm sure you're all like (what's wrong with this kid? He changes his mind every 10 seconds!) Well folks, thats me! Probly wont be many updates strait away, as money hasn't come yet but I can't wait, SW is so d@mn exciting!
 
I'm waiting for tank to clear up from clean-up earlier so I can get a before shot, but its reeally boring, its 1 peice of fake coral, sand, and a damsel :) LOL don't get to worked up, just to be let down!
 
ARGH! why does technology have to be so difficult!? Pictures being delayed, I sent to wrong e-mail from my phone, but will be soon!
 
PIC 1- FTS
PIC 2- Above shot + Filters, Open Top
PIC 3- Green Algea??? (What is it?)
PIC 4- My Four Stripe Damselfish - Flo
PIC 5- Side view from bed
PIC 6- Red slime algea ( I
when I saw the SWF.com in reflection )
 
I need suggestions for a CUC!! I want sand sifters for detritus, which you would be suprised how much I dig up out of the sand! Red slime algea is a major problem, and my electric blue hermit doesn't do $#%&! LOL, so suggestions please?
I can't wait to get rid of damsel, and add rock! WOOT! Aquascaping is my favourite part, other than the final product of course!

CUC:
( Suggestions Please )
Fish:
Ocellaris Clown x2
Royal Gramma x1
Yellow Watchmen Goby x1 + Pistol(?) Shrimp (What shrimp is best?)
Pajama Cardinal x2 ?? (Is 20g too small for pj cardinals?
Corals:
Softies Only
Zoanthids
Mushrooms
Pulsing Xenia (I'd love to try it)
Anemone (?)
And of course, everything I see at my LFS!! (kidding)

I"M SOO EXCITED

Hmm, never even thought of that!! But that is my only means of filtration, the other is only for water flow and has no filter media, so would it be alright with just a refugium? How should I construct it, suggstions ( With paint app. would be helpful
)
Thanks meowzer!!

haha, it seems like your red slime is growing on everything BUT the sand, decor and sides!
Watch, in a few days, your damsel is going to start turning red
