Pics of my 20L BB......

[Naperville Reef]

i received a lot of advice when i changed my tank to BB so i thought i would share some pics. most of the SPS are frags so i expect it to look a little nicer in a year (hopefully sooner )

a few close ups of the SPS. some are in focus, some are not. my camera does not have a macro function so it takes about 40 shots before i get a good pic.

purple digitata

pink milli (bleached pure white do to the stress of the switch. color is slowly coming back)

blue tort

green slimmer

very nice nano bb tank. What do you use for filtration?

hey, thats the same tank i have! How much flow you have in there? I put an MJ 1200 in my tank yesterday, and it kicked up a lot of the sand... (used to have a minijet 606)

thanks for the compliments.

i have a pretty basic set up. about 25 pounds of Fiji LR. 10g sump with an ASM Mini G skimmer. i have a phosphate reactor and run Phosban, although i will eventually switch over to PHOSaR. i also run carbon in a media bag located in the sump.

lots of flow. i have a Mag 5 for my return, two MJ 1200s in the display and a MiniJet 404 which keeps the back of the tank pretty clean. (MrMex.... i have a BB tank so the sand is not an issue.)

right now i am using a Reeflux 12k, although my magnetic ballast burns the bulb a little whiter than i prefer.

here is a better pic of the green acro with blue tips

What is on the bottom? White acrylic?

 

[Naperville Reef]

sasscuba..... it is starboard. basically a cutting board that i had cut to fit my tank. i think it looks nicer than a glass bare bottom plus if adds protection in case i have a rock slide.

Awesome looking tank! Get some fish in there!

I hope you share more pics as everything settles in.

i really like it. i certainly like the look of a sand bed better but my SPS have NEVER looked so good.

my purple digi is now BRIGHT purple, a shade i have never seen before.

my pink millie is coloring up more and more every day!!
