Hi people

Hey everyone,


I've used this site as a resource a few times while setting up my tank, and I finally decided to register. I'm a senior at UI and I just started my tank in October of 2013. I've got a 20 gallon with 20 lbs of rock and 20 lbs of sand. The set-up is currently sumpless, but I plan to modify my stand in the next week to accomodate a 20 gallon sump with all the typical conveniences (ATO, skimmer, refugium, etc). The only creatures I have so far are 2 cerith snails, 2 blue legged hermits, and a Mexican turbo snail. Corals will be coming in around 2 weeks from now. I've linked to a couple pictures so you guys can check out my set-up (I need to get my cords organized I know) - there's not much to see yet, but I hope one day it will look as good as some of the tanks I've seen here.


Anyway, I look forward to talking with you all and learning even more from everyone here.

Thanks everyone. I will definitely try to get out to Des Moines for the frag fest Lee, it looks like it's a great event.

 

Thanks guys. And yep, those are cheap par 38s off eBay. I ordered some royal blue LEDs of a more appropriate wavelength as well as some 20,000K cool whites, and I de-soldered and replaced most of the diodes that came with the original bulbs. Now I just need to work on making them dimmable hah.
