My new setup 20 gal Long (pic journal)

[sdwarrior32]

I'm a long time reader of RC.com and I figured its time to put up my current rig. I set this thing up about 2 months ago and all I had was LR LS and water, about 5days ago I put all my stuff from my 10 gal AGA in this new tank and since then I,ve added a good amount, as far as livesock just sum various snails a serpent sea star, 5 diffrent type of snails and a purple lobster(have had him for a long time now), no fish ATM but I was intending in putting in a possum wrasse (my favorate fish). Enjoy and please tell me what you think (btw I take bad pics lol)

My old 10 gal RIP.

thanks for the comment I put it in the middle initially and what I did is i shoved a piece of flat rock under the foot of the clam and it seems to be opening up fully no over extension and no pinching so so far so good if it changes ill moove it arroud.

Nice, what viper light is that? I almost bought one for my 20L

Im using the JBJ viper 150watt Mh HQI it works pretty good so far and the swing arm helps big time on light placement

I love the rockwork. I am setting up a 20 long right now, and am thinking of putting a 150 HQI on my setup. How do you like the Viper? How is the temperature? I hope that my tank looks as good as yours when I get it set up. Great Job!

looks nicely full and the two underpasses will be appreciated by the fishies when they join the party.

[sdwarrior32]

the viper lights are outstanding from what I heard JBJ fixed allot of the problems that the original viper fix had, also my temp gets up to about 83 but I think you can see in my pic I have a personal clip on fan that I use to blow any excess heat away from the surface, when I put the fan on the highest setting it will drop from 83 to 78 but I keep it on the lowwest setting and I checked the heat once an hour for a whole day and it stayed between 79.1- 80.5 the hottest that it got was at the hottest time of the day so I will advice before getting a chiller check out wall mart 8 bucks for a fan aint bad lol.
