My 20 Gallon Journal! :)

[SoCalRodrigo]

So after about 10 months of keeping my first saltwater reef i just wanted to share with you guys and gals my journey in the reefing hobby. Here it is when i first started cycling it in June. All that is in there is 20 lbs of lr, an in tank filter, a heater, and two 24 watt t5's.
After a month of cycling my tank i added my first fish. a baby semi picasso clown

My tank finished cycling around the beginning of August and i wanted to add my first corals. So in went my first corals!!!!

Ohh and i got my clown a buddy

After about 5 or 6 months i let my tank grow and i got a few new things as well. The only corals i lost were my magician palys and my gbta which decided to move and got stucked in one of my koralias The blue tang you see is no longer there cuz my friend wanted it and he outgrew my 20.

ANd here is the current tank. the equipment specs are:
4 X 24 watt t5's (3 actinic, 1 10k)
CPR HOB skimmer
Modded HOB fuge from a skilter 400
Stealth heater


Lol sorry for the crappy pics, they were off my cell which is the only place ive kept photos.

Its a kole tang and yeah i know ive been trying to catch him for the passed week but he's impossible to catch! I think i need to upgrade???

lots of coraline did you use anything special? also some nice GSP. but the coolest thing i think is the brain or frogspawn!! next step is put a sump on!!

I top off when needed with a mix of RO water and a capfull seachem reef carbonate and then the next day i dose a capfull of reef complete. and then weekly 25% water changes help as well. I was tempted to put a sump on this weekend but im moving soon and hopefully i can get a 40 breeder going and ill definitely plump a sump into the setup!

Upraded my tank to a 29!!!

I'm not one to be tang police but I would get that powder blue out of there...other than that tank looks great.

[Diver Dan]

Oh lawdy... A powder blue in a 30 gallon? You're going to have a warrant from the tang police!
