Showtime!
This thread contains pictures of my tank taken August 30th (today). The contents of this tank was transferred from an Eclipse 12 tank that I had up for several months. This 20 has been up for a little over a month now I believe. If you are interested in seeing pictures of my tank inhabitants closer, here are some threads you can click on to check them out (I hope this works anyway).

The pictures in this thread will be graphics intensive. I optimized them for size but some of them are still over 100k. If you have a slower connection, this thread may frustrate you. Sorry in advance!
Here are specs and information about the tank. Please PM me if you have any questions. Perhaps someday my tank can be featured here on Nano-Reef.com. I do know that without this site in particular, I would not have been able to keep it going so thanks to everyone who was kind enough to answer my questions along the way. Also thanks to FlyGTI for giving me the inspiration for the 20 long tanks and for selling me your spare20 long for $15. I have lost 3 corals over the last 9 months (2 open brains and a large candy cane coral ... all in all not too bad. I also had an emerald crab die on me ... RIP).
20 long AGA
(2) Metal Halide 175 Watt 20K XM pendants
Aquaclear 150 HOB (with Rowaphos and carbon in media bags 24/7/365) attached to an Aquaclear surface skimmer
(1) 200 GPH AquaSweep PH
CPR 18" AquaFuge (stuffed full of several different types of macroalgae, pods, crabs and brittlestarfish, powered by a Rio 400)
Jali 13 watt PC over the fuge that is lit 24 hours a day
Lee's Small CC skimmer using a Rena Air 100 pump
100 watt EBO-Jager heater (in CPR AquaFuge)
35 lbs. Fiji/Florida LR
40 lbs. LS (estimate I assume including the LS in my fuge)

candy cane coral
Using IO salt with a 3 gallon water change weekly with gravity at 1.025
Auto-topoff from Physh1 from Nano-reef.com
I try to keep my tank as close to 80 degrees as I can. It does vary however between 78.5 to 81 degrees based on the weather and what we're doing with the central air or heat in the house.
Dose with B-Ionic every other day to keep calcium at 420ish
Golden Pearls - 2X weekly
9 hour photoperiod (noon to 9 daily)
Feed: pellets to fish 2X day (with an occasional treat of zooplankton for them)
frozen brine shrimp to sun coral, bubble coral, scolymia every other day
Any other questions feel free to PM me

First up are pics of the tank as it looks on my desk and also some different angles I haven't done before.
