Thanks Jed, 30g is a great choice and will save you $$ (which you can spend on equipment ;)) Aparently you can do wonders with tanks this size, look at Mikes 20 long, its wonderful!
I thought that black sand would accent colors alot more than regular sand under atinic lighting but there is only one way to find out!
 
Since one of my classes got canceled, I figured I would do something productive :) Here are some pics that I took today of the tank, it is up and running full speed!
The reefkeeper is a whole new world! If you are reading this Mike, thanks a lot!! I love this thing, and I will never part with it. Will be expanding it soon (putting expenditures in priorities).
Here are some pic of it up and running:

I love that rimless look, it puts my 55g to shame!
 
Nothing too special yet- one piece worth noting is tiger lily, I have him in there for now. Really NICE polyp, I will have to take some better pics of him but below was a couple of pics I took :) Also, I have some orange mushrooms, a green/orange/purple ric. and orange yuma and gsp for now.
Here are some pics that I just took (I have yet to edit them):

love the setup what kind of pump did you use to hook it in with your display im thinking of doing the same thing.
 
PPE are awesome, def worth getting Jed!

You did all that work for 6 frags??? I want to hire you!!!!

I have more than 6 frags, I just need to put then over in the tank :)
As for hiring, sure! I hope you can afford my hourly rate- I am looking to get an Audi A4 next year ;)

Looks fantastic Alex!! The choice of the sand, lighting, flow, and RKL makes things so much easier. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more in this system. We'll be trading up frags in a year for sure.

Thanks, Mike! Hopefully sooner :thumbsup:

Your setup look really sweet as well, it is very hard to believe that its only a 20 long tank!

The key to that is to keep the fish small....lol.

Thanks for the compliment. Just trying to work with what I have.

I already told Jessica that I am buying a this frag tank and getting a Tek light over it. Just not yet, a few years from now. I love the setup of it.
