My 22 Gallon Long Build

[Nargard]

Two months since I started my build and I'm one week into my cycle. Here are the pictures of my process. 1st step was drilling my 22 gallon long low iron Aquamaxx.

Then onto converting my table to a cabinet and mounting equipment.

Aquascape decisions were tough.

Then it was time.

So my 1st fish arrives tomorrow. I'm going with a Semi Picasso Clownfish. Playing with my light settings and will start my lighting schedule when the fish goes in. Any suggestions on CuC timing? Should I wait until some algae forms then head to my LFS and pick up some crew members?

1st fish! Drip acclimated then in she went.

 

[Nargard]

Lost my fish. Death by jumping. Built this lid so it won't happen again. $36!

1st corals! War Favia, Kryptonite Candy Cane, Bam Bams

Some new additions. Bleeding apple scoly.

Now that's how you drill a tank! Much better than me walking the bit all over the glass

Looks good! What lights are you using?

I had a clown jump as well, I also bought a top right after. Plan on adding any more fish?

I currently have a semi picasso clown, six line wrasse, and a two spot blenny. All are great but the blenny is awesome. Perfect for a nano.

I am using two AI Prime 16 HD's. I had to go with two because the tank is 36" long.
