Nice looking tank. The OM should generate some nice random water movement.
I would consider using some hot water or a torch to heat the fibre re-enforced plastic tubing on your drain - that tubing, while clamped, looks too close to the end of that barb fitting for my liking (specially in the absence of a 90 degree elbow). Better still, consider using all PVC until you direct the flow downwards.

I heated up all the tubes as per your advice and they just slid right onto the fittings like butter, thanks for the advice, I still need some Cheato and some live sand if anyone has any extra. The tank is fully cycled now and I have got a few pretty happy frags in the tank.
I still have to move over another 25 or so frags from the main display.Apparently I am now considered a "business" because I am offering frags for sale from this 20G garage frag tank, I think I have given more frags away free than I have actually taken money for  . I am not allowed to post any sale adds for the frags. My posts are being actively removed. I cannot justify the fee to be a sponsor yet as I work far to much at my real job to make any money at this. I guess all of this is to be fair with the paying sponsors that really do make this a for profit business. I will not be "posting" any more frags here for sale until I sign on as a vendor. Thanks to those that did get some frags from me free or not!  I will still update how my frags are coming along in this new tank! Here are a few pics so far! Sorry for the crappy colors, this camera sucks!    Last edited by Oceanic; 09-05-2008 at 05:50 AM.

nice work! too bad you've crossed the threshold into sponsorville. well rules are rules right?
I feel I have to comment on the stand though. Is it really very sturdy? it just seems a bit flimsy to me. edit: lol I have the same anniversary dremel kit as you (first pic)

I wasn't sure about the stand either until I put it together, the thing is actually really strong! The bottome of the legs actualy have screw out levelers built into them. The stand is actually very sturdy because of the water and sand volume in the sump on the bottom shelf. In regards to the dremel, I love the dremel but the aniversary case sucks!

Kind of a BS position to be put in IMO, think most hobbyists recognize selling frags is not really a business, but more of a requirement once you graduate to a large system and have corals that grow quite quickly. I have left my "business" to grow out since the start of the summer........hence I have not updated the site.
I just quit my sponsorship on another site which was a complete waste of time......... Quote:

Looks great! Doesn't look like a commercial setup to me!
 That's kinda silly really.I am wondering however, why you chose to use crushed coral as a substrate over BB or sand?
