So here is my custom tank, its 48L 30W 24T

So here we go some updated shots, Just got it finally filled 12 mins ago

and running! as you can see in the pictures the overflow needs to be adjusted as the waterline is alittle low and i installed the returns slightly higher so there is some splashing NO halides on it yet so its good its adding the airation to the tank as im not running a skimmer!

So here is shot one, Of the tank

here is ashot of the hight of the overflow and the returns! I will get better clearer shots posted on my site so they will be clearer!

My temp Sump, As im goign to be installing a 40 gallon Refugium and a custom 125 Sump in due time!

Yea its really really nice to have, Not only that but i love fish too.

so this way im going to have room to be able to have some nice aquascaping as well has still have room for fish to swim, see myself i love tangs, in the past larger tank ( 90G) i had a naso , hippo and 2 yellows with a couple of clowns .. now there was lots of room.. just htey where little wee ones.. But when i got around to thinking... How is a 8-10 inch fish going to turn around in a aquarium that is only 18 inchs wide, by the the time the rock was in there it left what? Maybe 10 inches.. Not much room..

so what im doing with this one, is to have the most of the aquascaping in the center of the tank, Leaving the sides easy to clean and leaving room for my fish to swim some laps

So due to issues with money, I have decided to just leave the Normal output fluorescents on the tank for at least 6 months..

Now I have decided to go with a Yellow Angel fish (dwarf) Now I do know that like all fish they are hit and miss with picking at corals and eating what I want! So I have gone with this fish and I have placed a rock in the tank that does have some Zoos on it. So I will be able to see if he is going to be a picker or not..

So again I took some shots. They did not turn out. So when he comes out of hiding in the tank I will snap off a few more.

But its a Yellow Dwarf Angel ( Centropyge heraldi )

So i have attached pics i took..

but this is a link of what the fish does look like
