New 20L

[JeromeBaker]

I got this tank for free a couple of weeks ago. It is a 20L 30x14x10". Acrylic. Its in awesome condition. I'm putting it together for my girlfriend. It has my 46 bow strip light on it so it looks pretty nice..:rolleyes: . Anyway check back for progress.

I just bought this light from a guy on another site. 3x65w powercompact. Hopefully I'll have it next week. I'll post pics when I have it on the aquarium.

Nice, good luck and keep us updated!

[JeromeBaker]

I'm pretty excited about it. Although its for my girl I have big plans for it;) I'll post some more pics tonight with sand and 30 pounds of figi. I also added a dark blue background.

[Bickmade]

Im not a fan for blue back ground but it might look cool. what do you plan on keeping in "your girls" (we know its yours) tank?

[JeromeBaker]

Blue backgrounds are key! More natural. After all the ocean is blue.

She wants an RBTA and then we'll probably get a couple lps, zoos, and some shrooms. I think it will be a pretty cool tank.

RBTA is pretty sick, i cant wait til I get mine!

[JeromeBaker]

Those ones MFR was selling are super nice. I wanted one for my 46 but decided to wait untill I have my metal halides installed. When he has more this tank will be ready and I'll have to grab a couple.

I like my 20L blue background, although it will eventually be corralline.

Here is a shot of my tank when i first set it up:

[JeromeBaker]

My background is super dark blue I have the same one on both tanks. If you have seen pics of my 46 it looks just like that. I'll post pics tomorrow.

[JeromeBaker]

Here she is now. The light still hasnt arrived but a big improvement over the last pics.

[JeromeBaker]

[obarrera]

[obarrera]

[JeromeBaker]

Its all good. Yeah that strip light pisses me off. Whatever though, my 3x65w pc should be here any day. Damn i'm tired.

[Bickmade]

Wow, its looking DYNOMITE!

[JeromeBaker]

Its getting there, still have allot to do but its starting to look good. Thanks.

[obarrera]

That's alot of live rock too,how much have you spend on live rock?(on both tanks)

[JeromeBaker]

$$$$$$$$:D$$$$$$$$$

Zach,
Damn your tank is looking good!:D So how's your wallet? Almost empty yet?
Let me know when you are going to frag your torch or anything else, Tao & I are waiting. Hehe! J/K, take your time.

BTW the hammer is looking good... Thanks!

[JeromeBaker]

My wallet? I even traded that away for a frag.:p Its all good, its just money right? ANyway good to hear that the hammer is good. I'll let you guys now as soon as someone tells me how to frag this torch.

[SD619]

Your tank's looking great, Zach. You're way ahead of me with that 20L. My tank is still sitting empty in the garage waiting for me to make more money! LOL. I still have a lot of work to do and a lot of parts to get.

[JeromeBaker]

Thanks bro. Even with the light I bought I think I only have $200 into it so far. I had the filters, sand, and powerheads just sitting around. I'll probably put another $500 into it before its done. I'm having a stand built for it this weekend. I'll keep you posted on progress.

[JeromeBaker]

I finally was able to modify the legs on the light so it sits at a decent height, I'm happy enough with it to start talking about this setup again. We added a couple things since last post as well. A couple percula clowns, a decent cleanup crew, and a scarlet cleaner shrimp. I'll post pics hopefully later tonight.
