Hi, just wanted to post some pics up of my 20 nano.
Current inhabitants:
Fish & Inverts
2 nano false percs
1 hippo tang
1 blue leg hermit
1 scarlet hermit
1 astrea snail
1 sea apple
1 feather duster
5-6 hitchhiker feather dusters
Corals
1 finger leather
1 frogspawn
15 yellow polyps
I know the tank is too small for the hippo but need to monitor feeding and behavior right now as I think he was stressed in the previous tank. He is still small though roughly 2-3 inches. Bout to move him into 44 gal QT and do hypo. Then move to 72 gal. for a few months while 210 gal. cycles and becomes established.
Filtration is a Whisper 60 with Chemi-pure filter media. Also have about 28 lbs of LR and 40 lbs. of LS. I have a Maxi-jet 1140 for increased water flow.
Also have some green caulerpa and red kelp to help out.
Lighting is a Coralife SS 65w PC. Thinking of upgrading to the Coralife 2x65w PC or Halide.
Well on with the pics!

Looks really good. I like it.
You'll get comments from the tang nazi's, but I'm planning to put a baby hippo in my 24 gallon. By the time he needs a larger tank I'll have one for him anyway. But, at half an inch to an inch I don't see there being an issue with that.
Keep it up.

yeah i have no problems with the negative comments on the tang. i just moved him in here to monitor his behavior and feeding. his color faded on part of his body so i moved into my bedroom where i spend more of my time. he's not getting better so ima move him back into his 44 and do hypo, then move him to my 72 for a couple months till my 210 is established.
thanks for the comment.
