Joes Nano Build


Alright, so Im in on this. I know my 60g build isnt anywhere near complete, but I think I can use my leftovers for this. I have tons of live rock, with nothing to do with it, and I also have enough sand to cover the bottom of this tank, along with some pieces of coral I dont want in my 60g tank. Heres my plan....

20g acrylic tank, with painted stand (I may make a hood, but Im not sure)
CPR HOB skimmer
Some sort of T5 lights or MH I can find cheap on ebay
About 20-30 lbs of LR
2-3" Sand Bed

Live Stock:
Random crabs and snails
I will probably move my pair of Perc clowns in the tank.
My banded coral shrimp might go over there eventually, but who knows.
An Anemone for my clowns to host in.

Coral:
I have a couple extra heads of frogspawn I have randomly in my 60g, which I'll move here
I have a pretty good sized pagoda which will go in here also
Im getting some xenia pretty soon in my 60g, so when this stuff grows out of control, I'll be putting the extras in my 20g.

I think Im just going to keep my extras in here, and sort of use it was a revolving frag tank. I'll get some pics pretty soon, hopefully tomorrow, to see what it looks like.

No pics. but as soon as it started, the build may be ended lol. One of our friends really wants to get into saltwater reefing. I may give him this tank if he doesnt want the 29 or the 10 (I hope he wants one of those! lol).

So the friend wants the tank. But he has yet to pick it up. I guess I'll get some pics going this weekend. And if he eventually does want the tank, Im emptying the coral back into my tank, and I dont lose anything but a little time... pics to come now lol

edit: I just remembered I had the 29g tank (still small enough, woooo lol). so if the 20 does get picked up,I'll do a transfer to the 29.
