First attempt at a nano reef tank, have done freshwater tanks for a few years and wanted to try a reef tank. Here's the equipment.

20 gallon long tank
25 lbs dry rock from reef cleaners
50lbs aragonite
Aquafuge medium HOB Refugium
jebao rw 4
current orbit marine led

I seeded the tank and refugium with some live rock, tank is cycling now. I plan on doing mostly softie corals, would appreciate any stocking tips.

I would strongly suggest just staying away from Xenia. Unless you're really into it, I would at least keep it on an island from the other rock as it has a tendency to overrun a tank. Same applies to GSP but I personally like GSP so wouldn't suggest staying away from it, per say :)

A zoa/paly garden would look really sweet on the rock on the right.
 
this is killer man good job.. love the scape, mini sump/fuge everything.. well done*
