Ok so I stewed over this for a few weeks now and decided to just do it!
My plan was to setup a small tank in my sons room (3yo) somtime this year so why not join the build off.
These plans are tentative pending my wife finding out what I'm doing and how much it will cost.
The plans:
Tank:
20g RR Oceanic (already have in the garage)
DIY stand and canopy
10g rubbermaid sump.
Lighting:
3 or 4 T5 24" combo of 10K, 12K and atinic
Filtration:
20-30lbs LR
DSB
HOB filter to catch particles
Flow:
400-600gph return + HOB
(Koralia K3 or 4 if SPS)
Livestock:
I have not really decided this yet...
I'm thinking ALL Ultra Rics and Zoos
or
Full blown SPS
Thats about it for now this will probally be a year long project commencing ASAP but probally not untill Late Feb/March
