20 long nano SPS mix


Hi I have been running a nano tank ever since I have been in the hobby. This summer I had set up a 20L that i have drilled (1.5 in) and built a skimmer box that I had made out of 1/4in plex. I had retro fitted 2x65 watt power comps. and 4x36 watt T5 lights in my canopey. for my sump I fit a 10gal with a baffle. I ran a coralife 65 on it and used a pentair 581 gal return pump. But then I noticed that I was loosing at least 2gallons a day. I really liked this system for adding cems and I could add water right there so i think I just need a bigger system unless there is a way to fight evap without pricey auto top off kits. Well with the evap and the leak in my new all-glass 20L I have to redo all my work so, I put in in another 20L and hung my skimmer and now put a 150w MH and 2x65w PC and I think Iam going to coustomize a 40 breeder next and use my 20L as my refugim and sump. What would you think should I go with a 58 or the 40 breeder? I was thinking maybe getting a 40 rimless and hanging my lght. I Have PICS but Iam have to post them later.

Pictures are a must! Definately sounds like a cool setup though.

Look into organizing it a little better. Kind of a long read...
