IM20G Dominant SPS Tank

[RobSpeed13]

I've had aquariums for years. Probably 7-8 total lol. Now that im a Family man i've cut down to 1. A Innovative Marine 20G. Its currently running but I took it apart to install a new canopy built to match my custom stand.



Equipment is as follows:
Siccee 1.0 Return
Neotherm 75W
Current EFlux 660gphx2
Smart Micro ATO
2.5G ATO Res
Nanobox Tide Plus M(currently over the tank keeping my SPS frags alive and till my canopy retrofit is finished)
Canopy Light ( T5 Retrofit Kit with 2 ATI Blue+ combined with a Hydra 26HD)
Stand custom built.










So tell me what you think. Currently have a frag rack with about 20 SPS frags so we will see how these babies color up and grow. Other then that i am surprised at how well this combo looks together. T5's are ATI Blue+ with Hydra 26HD using similar AB+ program as radion with high Respiration Peaks.

Nice that looks like it'll grow out nicely. only thing i worry about in my 20G is which SPS will battle it out. have my rocks drilled already just some of them will be 3" spread apart and eventually things will grow into each other.

Yeah that's what I'm not looking forward to. Most of my sps are all high end...

Nice DIY canopy! I was actually thinking about doing the same type of thing with my IM Nuvo 20... This looks really nice and makes me want to even more now

Rob I recommend throwing a block of marine pure In the back and/or siporax in an intank media basket in one of the compartments. That's what I did

I used to have media baskets but got rid of them. tank seems much cleaner and stable with just water changes and filter socks lol. simply dosing of alk and ca and everything looks happy.
