20L Nanoreef Jetty

[BeefyG]

I took some pics for NR and figured I would post them here too. Any input is appreciated.

AC70 and a MJ400
2 x 96W PC 10K and Actinic (looking to get a new bulb soon)

Its been set up since September with rock and dirty water from an established system. Massive thanks goes out to jhenry for helping get this thing going.

Nice start. Go get an MP10. What corals do you have? I see some shrooms

Looks Great!

Thanks. VorTech is for rich folks, lol. Recognize the light?

I've got three kinds of shrooms. Green stripe, maybe a bubble, and maybe a bumpy? All my mushrooms came from HAW.
I've got two kinds of GSP and various zoas and palys. Some of it is from madugo and some from the $5 rack at City Pets.

Thanks Nacra.

Nice. I want to convert my 30g to salt water after my fry grow out. Are you using the ac70 differently then u would fresh water?

Nice scape. Rock n reef had a bunch of great looking zoas and palys at decent prices if you're going for a softie tank.

Thanks! I kinda wish I had gone with a 30g but I already had the 20L. I'm running just the sponge and carbon in the AC70. I will probably add Purigen when I decide if I wanna buy it prebagged or if I want to buy a bottle. I've read horror stories of it leaking out of a bag that the mesh wasn't quite fine enough. Lots of little white balls floating in the tank. There is a mod you can do to it to make it a refugium but this tank is in my bedroom and the fuge light would keep me up.

Thanks! I checked out rocknreef but their pictures weren't loading for me. Its definitely going to be a softie tank and maybe a LPS or two.

Thanks! You mean run it externally? I think I've read you can do that with maxijets but you have to watch their heat. I've noticed I don't need to add a heater when I mix up the water for this tank because I drop the MJ in there to mix it and it heats the water to over 80 degrees. Then I let it cool down before I add it to the tank. Of course thats only 4 gallons at a time. I'm going to have to read up more on that. Or maybe I could run the tubing and put the MJ in the AC70. I've got a lil extra room in there right now...

Good start man!

Shallow lagoon is pimp.

I like this tank quite a bit. I've been gathering info for a 20-g long reef of my own. . . I was thinking about a slightly different orientation to the live rock, but still very similar.

I'm always amazed at the talents of others with aquascaping.
