Alex's 20g Rag Tag Reef

[Alex's Nano Reef]

I have had this tank far many years restarted it about 3 times. The first time was a wild success i even had a bubble tip with two different species of clowns hosting the same anemone. A urchin died and crashed my tank overnight. The second time i had the tank going good it didn't crash or anything but i did move out of my parents house and couldn't take it with me. I also had a bunch of other things going on in my life at that time that took my attention away from my passion of keeping reefs. I recently got back into it full force ready to make it happen and have another successful tank like my first. In this thread i hope to share with everyone my tank, livestock, and the progression of my tank aswell as the ups and downs. I will be listing the Hardware i am currently running aswell as my maintenance schedule and if anyone is interested feel free to just ask and i will get back to you with any info you want. here we go

Hardware as follows:
-Kessil a350w tuna blue ( 12 Hours on 12 Off)
-Reef Octopus bh-100 HOB skimmer (re-introoduced about 5 months after tank restart)
-Hydor koralia power head 2x
-HOB carbon filter also running some phosguard at the moment usually us the chemi-pure

That could turn out to be a great looking setup as time goes by. As the experts say, do not chase numbers. Read up on water parameters and keeping those stable. Research on power backup options. And, neither be lazy or hyperactive. Just relax and talk it easy. Wishing this reef tank a very long life.

this was my tank now its a little more my dads now but i have plans on putting together a crazy nuvo fusion 20g build. but ive taken care of and have had success with 180g mixed reef at my school and a couple of small 5 gallon tanks. yeah i gotta buy all new equipment but its defiantly gonna be worth it.
