My 20g, a work in progress

[tigerbarb]

I figured I'd share a few pix of my 20 gallon FOWLR aquarium. I think that if I take an FTS a month from now, it will look alot better, once the tufa rock starts to seed/when the rock has had longer to cure.
I made a blog on the setup of it: http://tigerbarbs20gsw.blogspot.com/
It's not much, but here it is...

looks good. If you buy like one piece of live rock that already has color, it would probably spread a lot faster

+1 and keep your calcium up and your rockwork will have color in no time. off to a good start though.

The rock has some coralline algae on it, but I am just using a 15 watt T8 49k bulb, so I am not expecting it to really take-over, but I have seen the coralline start to grow more.
Sometime soon I am going to add a coral banded shrimp.
Do you think a firefish could be housed with the tomato clown, and the bioload won't be too high? I know I can't stock the tank as if I had an ocellaris clown rather than a tomato clown.

should be fine with adding the fire shrimp i wouldnt add it if you already have the CBS to the tank though..

About the coral banded shrimp, could I feed it frozen brine shrimp, using a turkey baster? Can I just leave some brine shrimp on the rocks for it to eat? Also, can I just feed it 2-3 times a day or do I have to allow it to search for food throughout the entire day.
