Up sizing to a 22 ga.

[warhorseart]

Well I got a new tank for Christmas, a 22 gallon Cadlight. It was a great deal on a used one. So here is the picture from December 30, 2014. It is cycling now. 25# live sand, 20# rock to start and I changed out the pump for a 500 gph one. Made a media rack (currently only have floss in it), rubble in second chamber and will be adding Chaeto if I can find a handful from someone local. 3rd chamber has pump and heater. I will slowly be moving over my rock and coral from the 8 gallon.
I decided to keep the 8 gallon running as my QT tank since it seems Aipstasia seems to be running rampant when I buy frags these days. Very excited about this build. I have a Chinese sh*% box coming Tuesday.:bigsmile:

Light came today. A little overkill at 120 watt but it's dimmable. Here it is at 20%

Here are better shots of the rock left to right. Lots of great holes.

This is a rock I pulled from one of my 8's. Didn't care too much if I lost the zoas while it was cycling. They are looking great though.

I like that ledge in the 5th picture!! I'd reserve that for something nice!

 

[warhorseart]

I was thinking about my John Deere Lepto on it? I just keep adding frag tiles under it. It is now 4 high. Not sure where to put it and just let it spread. Opinions?

 

[Waterchange]

Haha nice! Glue it center-ish to the back wall and let it run wild covering the entire thing, what a backdrop that would be! If I had a ledge like that I would put a nice acro or rainbow stylophora.

I didn't know what a rainbow stylo phone was...omg!!!! I'm going to invest in one as soon as my tank is running great. Those are amazing.

Yeah they're amazing! The color really pops with daylights.

What did you mean when you said pods on the glass? I'm a newbie and learning.
