My 20 gallon Nano

[Diana]

No, this isnt my buildoff project, but one I just started reccently after getting tired of the space limits a 5 gallon presents.

Tank is 20 gallons... Lighting is 130 watt coralife PC, with a Prizm skimmer and AC 200.

This tank is about a month and a half old now.... some of the corals were taken from my 5 gallon nano, and others I just put in from OA. The corals include some zoos, frogspawn, pulsating xenia, toadstool leather, galaxy, hammer, gorgonian (added after the picture), candycane, and mushrooms.

I just added a purple and green BTA the other day that i dont have pictures of yet.... also the shrimp/goby pair was a new addition and I havent gotten pics yet. PS- whoever said a shrimp goby and pistol shrimp wont pair up in the confines of an aquarium has just been proven wrong! Both were bought seperately from different tanks and found each other after a day... and now are inseperatble!

Inhabitants:
1 black + white saddleback clown
1 royal gramma
1 yellow goby
1 coral banded shrimp
blue legged hermits
snails
1 high-fin shrimp goby and pistol shrimp pair
BTA anenome

I also have tons of macro, and lots even growing right out of the liverock (I got some great peices with tons of life from King Eds, i forget where it was from though). See the pic close up on the macros growing on the live rock... there are some ive never seen before.

Enjoy!

Ill post better pics soon

Wow, that looks fantastic, very natural looking. Love that black and white saddleback.

absolutely clean setup! It will be neat to watch the evolution of the tank and if all the macros will survive and grow, or if one strain ends up outdoing the others. That's mini evolution in the making, thanks for including this new setup in our forum. This tank will get many props for aquascaping and long-term planning. Good job

Wow, your setup looks wonderful! I love the fact that you've included the macro in your main display. It gives the whole tank a very nice, natural feeling, like you took a chunk of a real ocean reef and placed it in the tank Your fish look really happy too.

tank looks good. just be careful with those 4 fish and no sump/fuge. keep on top of the testing and WC's.....
