20L frag tank/ nano

hello everyone,

im going to show my 20L FT/nano. it looks like a nano, but really is a frag grow out tank. im not going to post the past history of this tank. take to long. i have upgraded this system twice over time. i will show pics of when i was first starting off, but mainly will list my current equipment/setup...

this tank has been running for a couple months now, and is kicking. i had a couple different filtration combos, different lighting systems, different water movement setups. this whole tank was done by myself over a couple weeks time. i will give a quick description of the entire system.

Just a thought since you seem to be handy...how about drilling two rocks the size of you returns in the front? I think Tunze has fake rock like that. Since you have a unique design I think it would make it less distracting IMHO.
 
i like that idea. at 1st i didnt mind the returns, cause people would always ask where they were coming from. but after thinking having some real or fake live rock with a colony of zoa's growing on it. would look pritty different
 
i like it, i'm around the corner from you on thompson off 36, let me know when your frags grow out and you want to sell or trade, or even if you'de just like to compare notes....
