My 20L mixed reef

well it's about time for a update...

well since my last post my clown that I'd had for like 2 years was killed by one of my hairy shrooms, my six line wont let me keep any shrimp so far it has killed/eaten 2 peperments and one sexy shrimp, so the whole invert and fish thing is currently being re thougt out for me tryin to see what to get that will all get allong...

a couple weeks ago I decided I wanted the "clean look" so I decided to scrape the coraline off the back glass, I LOVE IT...makes it look much cleaner and the rock and corals stand out more instead of just "blending in"....here is some pics...

dhoffroad, I thought I might lend a suggestion. Although I don't have SPS, I'm well aware that the more possible light (regarding shadows vs. lit areas) available for SPS the better. So I just wanted to say next time you add any SPS frags I would lay it on its side that way the frag is actually receiving more light than if you stand it upright. Also if you were to cut the frag sagittally, and lay the two frags on their cut sides you would obtain an optimum lighting situation. Plus the frags will hopefully grow more branches with the increased light. Just my 2 cents.
 
Your digi lost a little bit of color. I think your water might be too clean. Which is a good thing but maybe just slightly too clean. Do you feed very light? How often do you feed your tank? Nonetheless, great tank and great growth. We still need upadates.
 
Is it ok if ask how much that MH cost you and what did you buy to build it and how did you build it........any info would be helpful :)

I am loving this tank!!! I have a quick question. What did you use to scrape the corraline off the back glass? That was definatly a HUGE improvement.
