Saltwater And Reef Tank Builds This forum is for members to show off their saltwater tank and reef tank builds! When setting up a new tank system, its a great idea to post a thread here for several reasons. You'll get advice from fellow aquarists, and the threads are great to look back on in a few years!

Default My 20 Tall Reef (recently set up)

Hello All,
I've recently finished the build i've slowly been working. Spec's are as follows.

20" Tall aquarium w/ custom wooden stand and hood I built
Aquaclear 110 (converted into a refugium w/ chaeto growing like crazy under a cfl light)
150 Watt MH w/ 2 14 W T5 (I believe spectrum is 15,000K)
Seaclone protein skimmer
150 Watt heater (the old 100 W just wasn't cutting it on cold days)

25 lb LR between refugium and display
20 lb LS
1 False Perc
2 Purple Firefish
1 Bangaii Cardinal
3-5 Astrea snails
2 large turbo's
3 Hermits
1 Scarlet Skunk cleaner shrimp

I have plans to add a few more softies to the tank, and possibly add to my CUC

What do ya'll thing?

Here are a few pic's of the setup.

A FTS of both tanks (bottom one is a 10g planted)

A shot of the main display

Purple Firefish

A blurry shot of the refugium lights/fans/skimmer, all the hidden stuff

Vietnam Zoa/ Pulsing xenia, been target feeding both with phyto

A shot of the 10 G fresh planted tank (pardon the lack of salt)



I have plans to add a few more softies to the tank, and possibly add to my CUC

What do ya'll thing?

Looks really nice, agree.
The LR is starting to get purple, I can tell. That will look good.
Keep your eye on that xenia so it doesn't get out of hand!
A green mythrax crab or two might also make great additions to your CUC.
