So she has her hamster in our bedroom....

... And now I have my clownfish tank using mostly garage leftovers!

Livestock:

One 8 year old mocha ocellaris
One misc fancy ocellaris that was returned to the LFS because it “killed the seahorses”
A big ‘ole trochus snail
Various montipora, a mini potatochip pavona colony, overflow of eagle eye zoas from the main tank and remnants of birdsnest, pocillopora & stylophora that didn’t get sold this month and were stuck on my rockwork.

Equipment:

20 gallon cheapy petco tank
Current Marine Orbit LED
An 850 gph Hydor circulation pump
Eheim 150w heater
Tunze nano skimmer (Old but works good thanks to additions like a ball valve)
Surprisingly not terrible Walmart stand

Dosing:

Aquahub DIY ato (VERY DIY)
Toms aqualifter
Supersaturated Kalkwasser from a IO reefcrystals bucket because it has an orange lid.

I threw my ato instructions away. They were terrible and this came out much cleaner

Nice! I have a question about the stand. Is the top bigger than the base? If so, are the edges of the tank supported enough?
