Benzzz 20 Gallon Tank
This will be my first Sw tank.
It has been running for 4 days and the uncured LR is ripe to the smell.
Lots of filtering and waiting..
My choice for a starter is a 20 gallon tank. My light is a 24" Coralife Aqualight T-5 double linear strip which I dont turn on other than to check the process of the tank. I am running a Super skimmer 65 hang on. A Rena XP1 canister for mechanical and 2 Koralia #1 Powerheads for constant flow.
Let the games begin...............

 Shhhh ... don't tell anyone, but I'll be rooting for you! (I'm originally from the Toronto area too).

They posted great instructions with pictures in the Discussion Forums General Thread under the Nano 2008 thing. I am going to town now with those directions.
Keep on trying!!
Oh yeah you might need to have 100 posts. Just get on all of them and say Great Looking Tank and you can get to 100 easily. There is a rumor someone got to 10,000 with a heck of a lot of spam and support once.
