Looks good, I like how you left alot of sand open. It leaves lot of room for alot of different things. I would get a long tentacle plate or something to fill it in :D I like the devils leather and the pearl bubble alot also. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

He's still witholding how he keeps the sand so white.


Ha Ha Ha No secret. Just good clean up crew and good water flow.

20g longs are the shizznit. I have one myself, great little tanks. How is your blenny doing with your goby?

They are both doing fine together............
 
I gotta ask cuz its killing me .. I started up a 20H about 2 weeks ago and I'm still cycling (LR/LS). I have this white film growing over everything (presumably bacterial film)..

If I look at your timeline, it seems you were already adding crabs and snails after 1 week ! And corals 2-3 weeks in ! How did you cycle so fast??
 
Hey,

I used old LiveRock/Sand/Water from an existing tank. So no cycle.......Good Luck

hey man, your tank looks great! i curently have a 10 but its getting really packd. so i am about to get a 20 long and do pretty much the same setup. might turn one into a fuge. but i dont want to have the same problem as the 10. would 2 ac110's work for a 30 long? would it be enough flow without a powerhead?
 
Nice tank. I really like the open spaces you have created and allowed for future additions. I have a suggestion for your AC tubes and the sponges. If you still have the extension tubes with the slots look for a groove above the slots and cut them with a hacksaw. Take the smaller tube, invert it and stick it into the lift tube. You don't have to glue them, they just stay in place due to water uptake. I did this on my 2 AC's on my 29.
 
vary good progress on the tank ... well done
i love the way you placed you rock work
looks vary clean and tidy that way

I'm sure you could make it work, if not you could use a small powerhead in the tank along with both filters........

Hey, I've thought about this and done it on my 5g tank. It works, but just haven't got around to doing it on this tank yet, but more than likely i will.......
 
Nice set up why do you have the sponge over the intakes? Isnt this a nitrate factory? Are you running the AC's as fuges? Did you slow the flow any in the HOB filters? What is the turnover rate roughly? And last but not least what about that crazy hitchhiker crab in the begining of this thread man that thing is scarry, are you telling me it hitched a ride on the Live rock? Right on!
