20L economy build

[Clay4AU]

I got interested in an ATS last year so when petco had the $/gal I got 20L and hit the hardware store.

tank 20
shop light 7
pack of cfl 12
rubbermaid 15
PVC and parts ~8
plastic canvas 1
used an old table as the stand and had the extra rock, pump and main light
so I was able to get this totally set up for just over $60

The ATS has been the only filter ever on this tank. It took it while to get broke in but now it seems to be doing a great job.

Yes its sold at hobby lobby in the crochet dept then you rough it up so the Algae has something to hold on to.
The stuff also works great for blocking off areas from snails and crabs and is dirt cheap.

@Nate come check it out anytime
