New 20H Setup (picture intense)

[smogl00]

Well, when I moved to NJ, I used that as an opportunity to make some serious changes to my setup. I stuck with the same size tank, but got a new one, drilled it, (with some help from Johnny C) and installed a glass holes overflow. I added a ten gallon sump, and it is great to have all the equipment out of the display! In addition to adding a sump, I switched out all of my live rock due to a nasty blue clove polyp infestation that I had going on, so I have drastically re done the rockwork.

The goal for this tank is to be half LPS half SPS with a TON of acans. The overall goal is alot of COLOR. Anyhow, everything made the move ok, and it is all starting to color up nicely and grow more, so without further adieu, some pictures! These were all taken with my iPhone, so the quality is so so, but you get the idea.

I feed this guy skittles :crazy1:

Torch Duo!

Hot pink yuma

FTS (this is where my camera kind of lacks, but it gives you a good idea of the rock work, and where all the SPS is going)

Thanks John! Haven't run into snookie or the situtation yet! I have been following along with the bbq/ swap thread though. I might be able to swing that! My fiance is still in Buffalo for a bit so I will be back soon.

Hey everyone! Jeez it has been quite some time since I updated this last, so I figured I would share some of my latest photos to update you all. It has been a bit more of struggle after everything was moved (and then moved again) than I thought it would be, I think this tank is finally turning the corner. It's getting better everyday color wise. Let me know what you think! Please keep in mind that all of these pics are still being taken with my iphone camera, so it's tough, but I'm trying my best to capture what the tank actually looks like.


Still looking good!

Got some new acans in the mix

Torches are still doing well!

New addition

SPS side is starting to really come along

FTS

Enjoy! And if anyone has any suggestions, I'm seriously looking for the right coral to place on that piece of real estate on the right side of the downward sloping rock. It's a big space and I want to fill it with something killer. Any ideas? The flow there is a bit much for acans otherwise that would have been my choice.

Sweet growth! I like Fromia stars; I hope it does well for you.
