Some update pics of the 20g i have nearly won my battle against the green hair algae. The tank is still on the floor of the rec room... I have abandoned the idea of getting a 65g as my job is getting more and more travel orientated and my wife has no interest in the hobby. I think i am going to build my own aquarium 30x15x19 i have always wanted to try it. Also any opinions on how many MH to have over a 30" long tank? I know the general rule is 1 per 2ft but i dont want to deal with the heat issues of having 2 MH.

Its all still sitting in a bucket of water. Apparently you need to add a heater and some good flow to get the salt crystals to dissolve which i never did. And i kind of lost interest when i realized i want going to fit the 65g into the budget. I still plan on making another batch but its not a priority.
If you google aragocrete there are some good articles out there. There is even a powerpoint presentation video on youtube with the benefits of aragocrete.

for lighting on a 30" tank I would use 1 mh or t5 those are really your best options if you're looking for a cheap mh pm me cheers.

Some update shots... I just had new windows installed in the house and had to move the tank. Only 20g but man it took a long time, I think i am going to stick with nano's as I seem to be moving the tank every 6 months. I actually bought a metal stand for the 20g but of course i forgot it down the coast and so the tank is still on the floor. Below the tank is a green sponge that is growing like mad and a macro shot of my candy cane eating.
Cheers.
