20 gallon tank diary.

[reefjr12]

Hello, as some of you know I was going to do a 55 gallon reef but the cost and proities in my life right now have made me decide to go with my 20 gallon as a softie tank.
SPECS:
tank: 20 gallon AGA
filtration: Marineland Bio Wheel 200
rock: 30ish pounds BR
I hope to get the lighting system I want (130 watt power compact) for christmas, and from my next paycheck and the money I have right now get sand, protien skimmer (prizm), and powerheads.
some questions I have are. What salinity for corasl should I have 1.025-1.026? Should I purchase a 5 or 10 gallon tank to mix the salt? What will the lighting I am looking at go as far as (LPS, SPS, ect.)? what would be some good fish canidates for this size of tank? What would be a good clean up crew?
This will be my first reef tank.
I will post pictures tomorrow if I can figure out how.
Hope to hear back from you guys.
Thanks,
-Kevin

i just use big buckets u can get for like 4$ u would only need like 1 for that size tank
and for clean up crews i just got the nano pack under reef packages for my 29 biocube it should be fine in ur tank to
