I guess I should give the new tank it's own thread, lol. The quick run down goes like this:

This tank started as a 10g w/ the single piece of LR on the left side about 7 months ago. Then I decieded to move it to a different room in my house and in the process upgraded to a 20L and added another piece of rock (the one on the right). The tank will be solely SPS and as of now, will house a pair of ORA blue mandarins and possibly 3 barred gobies. I'm not 100% sure about that part yet.

The equipment list is pretty simple (simple works best IME). I'm using a modded ac70 w/ rox .8, gfo, and chaeto. For water circualtion I'm running a modded Tunze 6025 (and the ac70) which will very likely get replaced by an mp10. Lighting is a 150w mh firing a reeflux 10k (love this bulb) and 2x's 24w T5's (one ATI aquablue special and one Geisemann actinic) fired by an icecap 430. That's about it....

6025 moves the water pretty good!!

Looks good. I love the simple yet elegant design. Cant wait to see this filled in with SPS colonys all grown in, a few yrs from now :)

If all goes well with these frags I will finish stocking the tank within a couple of weeks. The only fish that I plan on adding to the tank at the moment is a pair of ORA blue mandarins. I would like to possibly add one more fish sometime down the road, I'm open to suggestions.
