Post Your 20 Gal Reef Pics!

[samdaman]

Post your Reef Pictures! Note if your tank has been hard or easy to take care of (you know they say smaller is harder). Also current livestock/corals and any future additions or plans!

I'll start!

I have a 20 Gallon Tall Reef. So far It has been pretty easy, I have not run into problems, I dose some essential elements every other week, and 5 gallon water change every 2 weeks. I am not running a sump. I have a normal HOB Filter, I also have a 250W 20,000K Metal Halide Fixture.

Curent Livestock:
Pair of Ocellaris Clowns
1 Orange Firefish
1 Yellow Clown Goby

Corals:
Green and White Candy Canes
Pink Acans
Green Star Polyps
Various Mushrooms
Various Zoas

Inverts:
Crocea Clam

I Also have some Flame algae and Chaeto in the Tank.

Future Plans:

More corals and Inverts! ie: Torch, maybe an anemone, maxima clam, Feather duster, zoas and maybe some Flowerpot coral and Galaxia coral.

 

[samdaman]

I'll post some current ones tomorrow.
out of all of the corals the xenia does bad recently(i had 2 but one of them just melted one day)
and as for now i'm worried about my kenia tree and the lps's, they are getting too big..
the rest of the corals are doing great!(knock on wood lol)

Hey! Sorry for the time I
Had a rough weekend..
So here's my tank!

 

[MayoBoy]

(Probably going to dump the MaxiJets today and get 2 more Aqueons. I just moved some sand around - I'll take another pic when it clears up...)

 

[samdaman]

Reposted pictures you had an extra http...looks good! Only advice Id give is be careful with that macro! Looks like Caulerpa, trim it back and that will help with it trying to overtake your tank!

Nice, Yeah hope those damsels are easy to take out, mine I had to remove my rocks when I first started out. Those fish are cool, If you like them get them (as long as your tank is suitable). And corals, can't let you know yet, What lighting do you have? Take it slow and think it through

10K/7100K combo lamp
its the stock CF quad lighting, it is completely stock except for the koralia nano, yeah i learned realy quick to go slowwwww
