Looks awesome, that pretty much the idea I have been wanting to do. A 20 long set up just for clowns and anemones.

Thanks everyone. There is no sump, all the equipment is listed at the top. HOB filter with Chemipure and HOB skimmer. Also weekly (when I am in town) water changes of about 5 gal.

Very nice tank! I remember when I set up my 20L before I came to school. I love the footprint of them. Perfect nano's. I'm very impressed with this setup.

What's your take on the MP10? I'm highly considering one now for my NC24.

 

[Esabasard]

I love the MP10, not cheap but I don't regret it at all. I used to have 2 Koralia 2's in there and the MP10 takes up less room and provides more flow all around the tank even at about 65%. In such a small tank, the K2's were an eye sore.

I like it. It looks good now but That's gonna look really good after about 6 months of growth. The diff growth patterns of mixed zoas on a single rock always looks good.

i like your tank a lot i wish i would have went bare bottom on mine it looks so much more clean

 

[Esabasard]

Also looking forward to the zoas growing out, I still think I need one or two more exquisite types to add to the rock.

I like the leather, but not as much as my wife. It was one of the things, including the clowns and the tongue, that we had to keep when we transferred the 75g to this 20. It is a nice, moving addition and it photographs very well.

I love the barebottom. It makes water changes much easier because all the crap builds up in a couple of places so I just vacuum those trouble spots instead of cleaning a whole tank of sand.

It has been over 6 months since I have taken any pictures of my tank. Everything has been growing, not super fast, but I am totally ok with that. I lost a few zoas and my Palmer's blue milli over the last few months. I am not sure why on either, but I am happy that it has been minimal. Here are a few shots that I took last night, along with the previous picture to show growth. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures.

[Esabasard]

Thanks guys. The leather is pretty awesome, it and the clowns who live in it are the main things that my wife cares about. We have had it for over 5 years.

What 2 anenomes? Do you mean the leather (tan) and the tongue coral (pink)?
