My 20g Reef (pics inside) YAY!

[jaredp]

Hey everyone, Australian Reefer here! Long time reader first time poster. Thought i would share my 2month old 20g with everyone.

The Fish (slightly overstocked - until i get my 70g up)
2 x False Perculas
1 x Coral Beauty
1 x Bi-Colour Blenny
1 x Wrasse (im not sure on its i.d)
8 or more Hermits (3 really big ones between 8-10cm)
Red Star
Shrimp of some kind

The Coral: (i dont know what half of them are, my LPS put them under wrong names)

Brain coral (unsure on this)
FrogSpawn
2 x Zoo's (according to LPS)
1 x Goni (according to LPS)
Toadstool

The Equipment:
New T5 Lights - 4 x 55w
1200Litre/H Powerhead
AquaClear 150 HOB
150w Heater
Digital Thermo

I havent been testing my parameters much lately as everything is going good in the tank. I do weekly/bi-weekly water changes (small changes). I feed the fish once a day or every second day with Mysis or small pellets. Currently feeding the corals every third day (The fish love the coral food aswell, they go into frenzy mode).

BLENNY & BRAIN?

WRASSE

Im still learning a lot of things and hopefully my tank will stay stable. I have a small skimmer that i WAS using, but its so unpractially hard to setup/use that i gave up on it.

If anyone has some I.Ds on my corals/fish it would be greatfully appreciated.

Anyway thanks for your time, hope you enjoyed.

nice looking good

overstocked, but since your going to 70g should be fine, looks good otherwise.

Nice tank. I think the unknown if gsp green star polyps.

 

[MarineGirl411]

the corals are beautiful. they sure look full and happy. =)

Yeah the green ones in the middle are green star polyps, not sure if I see a xenia also in the back on the right, comps monitor sucks so I can't tell. Looks great though. Hopefully you get your 70 up soon and you can move somethings out before there is any probs. Are you going to keep this tank up afterwards??

Thank you guys
I thought the 2 might have been GSP, ill have to let the LPS know as he was selling them as Zoo's.

I've been looking into getting a larger variety of foods for my fish. I purchased some Brine Shrimp today and they seemed to like it (not as much as Mysis though ). Is there any other foods you could recommend to keep them nice and healthy?

I would like to keep this tank aswell as the 70g, as its going well, and getting more stock etc isnt a problem as its fairly cheap in my area.

Any one got an idea on what the brain is (if its a brain?) or the I.D. on the wrasse?

 

[Jovreefer]

The wrasse is a leapord wrasse.

It's a brain, don't know what type.
