looking good, Are you planning on adding more rock?


I'm not planning on adding anymore base rock. If i add anymore rock in the future it will be because a coral is attatched to it.
 
Nice. You've got crabs :) Did you make the canopy? I have the same 20L setp basically. AC110, Painted blue background, putting heaters in AC110, etc. I might have to build me a canopy now.

I did not make the canopy. My best friend who is also an avid Reefer, build the canopy. He has built a canopy for me before. How about some pics of your setup....
 
Yea let me get some. It is not setup right now. I am just starting saltwater, so I still have alot to buy. I just ordered a 250 watt MH pendent, ballast, and 10k bulb that should be here this weekend. I am gonna use it till i get my 40g Breeder started. I will take some pics of the AC110 with the heaters in them, and the background. But your rock work and such is just how I want mine, not alot. I just want 1 or 2 fish.

Can't wait to see some pics....of your setup....
 
I took pics the other day, I will post them tonight. Also my lights came, so its about time to buy some salt and sand and some live rock! WOOOOO!

Also, not sure if you are using the entire sponge in the AC 110. If not, i cut mine off a little to make it deeper for my heaters, and took the extra piece of sponge and used it to place in between the filter and back of the tank to level the filter out. I have a pic of it.
 
Keeping up with the updates: I've been battling some diatoms in the tank over the last week. I just cut back the light hours to 4 a day. Also cleaned the glass off as much as possible as well as blew off the rock with a turkey baster. Now the tank looks good. I finally got the crab out today and added a few snails. Planning on adding a few more snails, and some small blue leg hermits by the weekend. Here are a few quick pics of the snails......

Here is a pic of the AC110 setup

And here is what I was talking about with the sponge piece.

I'll take pics of the lights later.
 
The lighting is what is gonna make it nice. The 250watt MH HQi is gonna be the hookup. Problem is once I get my 40 going, I want to use this tank as a sump, but it looks SO good. I may just buy another 20L as the sump. Keep us updated.
 
Just added a few corals to the tank! I took a few quick shots. I'm adding more corals this weekend and will take better pics. I can't take any close up/micro pics right now because i need new batteries.....camera keeps shutting off......
