Chaos's First Salt 20g
Just wanted to get on here and put up some pics of my first tank, im 5 days in right now and looks like a diatom breakout now lol. I decided not to start the 120 lobster tank i bought. I just took the air pump and chiller out and im gonna try and sell it as just a tank. Here are the pics of the 20.
These are pics from day 1       These are the pics from today Day 5.     Current Aquarium(s) Description: 20g Reef Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: Since Oct 07 Other Intrests: Rock climbing, drag racing, paintballing.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Looks like your getting a pretty good start.
But whats the PVC for?Looks like its being used for a surface skimmer or something?

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Yea, it is, im going to be making a black acrylic back for the tank with an outside overflow and move the rock and sand to another tank to do that before i add any coral or fish i dont like having the heater and powerhead in the tank and im not even gonna comment about my makeshift skimmer tube LOL its very much so in the way of my rock.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Leave the power head the display.
I actually dont see any thing wrong with the way you got it set up.Matter of fact,That PVC will probably be the first thing to get covered in coralline algae which will make it blend in with your rock work.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
I Guess thats true, ill see how it goes here in the next few weeks im still deciding on a refuge sump for this tank but im leaning towards no because im building a 240 8 foot soon and that with sump is gonna be about $900 before anything else. I do need a stronger pump tho i think, i have a 190 powersweep now but i think im going to buy a 240g hydor powerhead.

Re: Chaos's First Salt 20g
Good start. It definitely looks like the diatoms are starting to take over. Which means you are well along your way to a nice tank in just a few weeks!
