Why hello there!!! I am about to post up pictures of the other tanks soon, just getting a new 55 gallon setup at the moment... That's number 6 in the house...

Thanks everyone for the compliments. This is just one of my many planted tanks.

Had a goby jump out - found out they're really good jumpers
I also have a cat that is too curious...I bet he startled the goby and out he jumped.

So, I bought a 30" glass top - just $22 at Petsmart and modified it to fit the top. I took off the hinge - it was blocking light, then cut the flexible strip to fit the ends, to hold the 2 pieces of glass together. Voila. It works!

Sits right on the rim and I can rest easy that the new blenny won't jump out and will stop kitty from going fishing. There's about a 1.5 inch opening at each end - plenty of room for my filter and light mounts.

Its a nice fix for those who want to keep water from evaporating so quickly or if you have very feisty, active fish!

You should really get a 12L and join our club!

I am confused on the 20G though, aren't they $1 per gallon so if you got 2, that is $40+tax? Unless you got a coupon that saves you 50% off your purchases that would make sense.

Would you mind sharing with us?

I tried to keep tab when I was beginning at reefing. You'll just go crazy
Trying to figure out why budget just gets way out of hand so fast.

I do have a 13.3 Mr. Aqua rimless on order That'll be for cherry shrimp and celestial pearl danios.
Shoulda gone with a sump and have the tank drilled. if I were to start over my 12g reef I'll have it drilled for a more cleaner look.
Just got a deal on boostLEDs and replaced my beamswork reefbright fixture. I like the colortemp on the boosts better now.

Nah, no drilling for me just the thought is terrifying and I've spent enough! The setup works great and fits anywhere...I'm really happy with it.
