hey your lighting, is it two 65w pcs? how much?

I guess putting my lighting down would help

Coralife Aqualights : 36" 1x96W Coralife Aqualight CF hood w/ 50/50 -Square Pin

I am wondering if your lighting will be enough. I myself have the double 96W Aqualight on my 50. My tank is only 18" deep as compared to your 20"

All the corals in my tank are living pretty well with only 1 96w actinic, so I doubt he'll have any problems. I've got a 10,000k too, but it causes too much algae growth when I leave it on for the day. Maybe I'll use it again after I wipe out those hair algae.

My tank is going to be mainly FOWLR for a while. If anything one or two mushrooms. Before I do get some serious corals, I'll look at upgrading my lighting then.

So I dropped by Fin-Omenal today to pick up some LR. I saw some sweet LR about a week ago, and thought I'd go by and pick up a big peice for my tank, as I don't have enough yet.

Spoke with Kate & Dawn while I was there! Super nice! Anyhoo, so I got a nice 8lbs LR, which is a nice new addition to my tank. Its nice and big compared to what I have in there, and looks awesome!

So they were packing up my rock for me, and while talking to them about my setup, they said they have something for me to take for free for my tank.

A Fish!! It is a damselfish (I forgot the name, hopefully someone can recognize it). About 3-4" in length.

They said that one of their customers gave it to them, but its putting to much of a bioload on their tank. Since my tank has been running for about 3, almost 4 weeks now, with no changes in my tank readings, they said this would help out. Sweet!!

Anyhoo, I wrote more on my site, check it out here.
