Specs on my 20g Nano

A CLS = Closed Loop System. That is where you have the tank drilled in the back with multiple holes, for intake and outlets. The plumbing is sealed so the pump pulls water from the display tank through the intake and then disperses it back into the tank through the outlets. This helps generate more flow in the system without adding powerheads to the tank.

What he said lol.

I went with a smaller drilled tank, only about 80 bucks including the bulkheads. My CLS is actually independant of the holes, it pulls/pushes water over the top of the tank in this case. Mines powered by a Gen-X XPC30, but thinking of going higher GPH.

I just got my T5s, still playing around with the bulbs, but hopefully have some new pics soon. Trying to figure out how to really get the look of the spectrum in the photos w/o photoshop lol.

Finally put some livestock in the tank... here's some pics of the new guys.



Got this Yellow Fiji Leather. This pic shows him almost immediately after being put in. He's since relaxed and partially extended his polyps. I'm going to have alot of pics of him probably, always wanted one of these but was scared to buy, they always looked so unhealthy at fish shops. I watched this guy for about a month as it slowly perked up and regained health. Had to buy it - I'll update it's progress. Any tips on care for these is appreciated.



Picked up some orange mushrooms too...



And this Pocillopora. Again, help w/ care would be appreciated.



The softies all together

Good start, I'll keep updating the livestock.

Congrats on your new additions.

The leather is doing much better Here's a recent pic of him opening up in the morning.





The poci unfortunately is showing signs of bleaching pretty severely. I'm going to move the ights up slightly and address a temp. issue I'm havng, hopefully I'll have some follow-ups of that one too.
