the birth of my 20L tank

[luistwentyone]

it was born today at 3pm. I went to Scripps and filled up on 15 gals of water.

20gal long glass. I have 20lbs of aragonite, aqua clear 30 filter, 100w stealth heater, rio 180 powehead, and 36" Nova Extreme T5 4x39 lights.

in a couple of weeks I'll be getting a Remora Nano. right now I have a Prizm, but I think its going to be too loud. this tank is right next to my bed.

nice have any rock to fill the tank up yet and do you have pics of the light?

[Redeye]

is the remora any quieter than the CPR 2r+? same basic design, my CPR is way louder than my prizm

[DaChrisDude]

Cool. Whatcha gonna have in it?

I ended up getting the remora for my 20L, seems to work good. Havent been home in 2 weeks so i hope everything is doing ok. You ended up getting the 36" lights? did you hang them from the ceiling?

[luistwentyone]

I haven't gotten any rock yet, but plan on getting about 20lbs of small pieces next week.

The remora pro I have is real real quiet, thats why I am sticking with remora.

you all think I have enough light for a clam ? I think I just might, being that the depth is about 12 inches.

I'll be using legs on the light fixture, I'll post some pics of the lights tomorrow.

anybody have ideas of what I should keep in my tank ?

welcome to the 20L club!

[jharr]

Yeah, Luis! All of us 20L'ers should get together and have a beer to celebrate our taste and intelligence! I am in the process of setting up another one now. You're 'looking good' so far (props to Freddie Prinze!). Keep those pics coming!

okay fellas, I've added the lights and skimmer. I'm sticking with the Prizm for now, we'll see how loud it gets. I'm going to add another 10-15 lbs of aragonite. this is the most recent pic, I havent wiped down the inside glass.

should pick up some live rock tomorrow at the frag swap at Harold's, see you all there !

[luistwentyone]

ok, I've picked up 20lbs of live rock from Harold, great pieces. I havent arranged them the way I want yet, just threw them in to cycle first then I'll fix em up.
