Blues Solana Adventure

[Blue]

After having my tank for about three months i decided to set it up this week.
It is not going to stay stock but i figured why im tinkering with the tank and ordering equipment my tank can be cyclying and become more stable. So what do i plan to do to this tank you ask well nothing to crazy. I just plan to replace everything it came with So the plan is this
-150watt sunpod w/20k geismann bulb
-tunze nano skimmer
-tunze 210.041 mini water pumps x3
-ELOS auto top off
-1/15hp current-usa chiller
-replace main pump with eheim pump

What am i going to put in it you ask? Well mostly LPS with a few softies fish are still unknown. Now i know what your thinking this is just a bunch of BS im not doing any of this i dont have tank or your think where are the pics well her they are

I appologize for the crapy pics i took them with my iphone i have to say it takes some bad pics LOL

Well i guess now that i have entered a contest i should at least give some background info right? Well the tank is the current-usa solana tank the advertise it at 34gallons truth be with out rock or sand it holds 26. I have 1 bag of seachem sand in there i also have 22 pounds of LR it is all stock at the moment i will start buying things for it in the coming months still kinda recouping from Christmas LOL. Im sure once i have my equipment i will update this every day because ill probably bring something new home 6 out of 7 days of the week. I am a manager at a LFS so i get to see the stuff first Anyways thats my background info oh and my plan above i probably wont stick to it all the way but i think it was a good start to show the direction im going. I hope you all enjoy.

Thanks,
BLUE

the tank is 20X20X20, right? then that mathmatically comes out to 34.6 gallons. ( see my signature ). You sure you did that right? I'd hate to see you lose 8 gallons

Did you subtract the thickness of the glass. That volume could explain the difference.

It may really be a 19.5 x 19.5 x 19.34 if 1/4 inch glass was used.
