20g Nano Reef Tank!

[Alexkos23]

So i started up my 20g Nano Reef about a month and half ago! Seems to be coming along great. Had some ups and downs learning about saltwater but it was a fun process!!! Here are some pics of it!

Had to give my chocolate chip starfish back to my LFS since he likes to eat corals

Sorry pics arent that great best i can do with my phone cam. Fish have changed since the first pic as well dont have any damsels now

Coming along nicely ! I love a 20L tank, makes a great nano-reef. I would just recommend adding a background; I did to my tank and it made all the difference....

Good thing you got rid of that Domino Damsel, those are very ornery fish and can be big trouble !

Didnt want fish in there that i wouldnt like so had to get rid of them as well for that reason!

What HOB filter are you using ? I have the AquaMaxx HF-M filter/skimmer combine, and am tickled pink with its performance....

Im using the aquaclear 30 and honestly no complaints yet been working like a charm

Do you also still have an internal skimmer ? I love the way skimmers remove dissolved organic gunk from the water ! Unusual to see a reef tank without one....
