20 Gallon Long!!

[TheFishScooper]

Hello follow reef enthusiast, around 3 months ago I had the itch to start the most ridiculous nano tank I could so I started a 20 Gallon long with a few mods to it to make it a more suitable tank. The first mod I did was put 4 hole in the glass, 2 holes being for the return and one being a full siphon and the other being a emergence drain/ surface skimmer. Then i installed a 32x12x12 sump with an active refugium for pod growth and phosphate removal.
For circulation I decided to go with the Ehime 1260 return pump plumed into a squid wave maker and an Ecotech MP 10. As for the lighting I chooses the Ecotech Raidon Pro.
Here is what it looked like in the beginning

I could be wrong but pray your power doesn't ever go out. I think it will drain all the way to the return lines, and there pretty low in the tank from pics.

Hope he has some check valves. Didn't notice that

easy fix if you throw a check valve on the return line so it doesn't siphon ever. $7 fix.

It looks amazing, hard to make a 20gl look big but you accomplished it. love the aquascape

 

[TheFishScooper]

Haha yeah I would be in a world of trouble if I didn't have my 3/4 in check valve but I do so no worrys
