well I tried to get my new photos from my gallery to here, but I have no idea how can anyone help.. anyway I have had the tank about 10 days and I have the pictures from what it looked like then until now. I have spent a little time on it but nothing crazy.. its 20 gallons 24"x24"x9"deep I have a 10 gallon sump, returns from four corners from a mag 350gph. I have a couple of jj 290 gph powerheads for when I get it running.. the tank is acrylic and was bought from a local guy as seen in a couple of older pics..

I ordered a current sunpod 150 HQI with 12 leds fixture I am going to hang like 18-24" up and I am pretty sure I am going with an aquac remora hang on skimmer for the sump.. I really want to put a refugium, but as you can see I am lacking space. I was thinkin of a hang on off of the sump but who knows.. I am also putting a jbj auto topoff with magnets on the sensors (past experience) so I wont have salinity problems.. I am big on liverock because it is my favorite part of reef tanks so I am going to squeeze as much in the sump I can and have it around the overflow on top. I will be getting it from my buddy when he breaks down his 125 in a week or so and put more pics up..

this is going to be a mixed reef, with a tank bred clown, a sixline wrasse, and one other smaller fish but I am not sure yet.. I like the shape of this tank b/c it is a weird size and this size is used mainly for frags.. the only thing I am worried about is fish jumping out, but we will see.. let me know any opinions and what you think..

Looks cool. I like tanks you can look down into from the top.

I know it would be more of a challenge to pull off, but that tank would look really sweet in the middle of a room-viewable on 4 sides...

I have thought about that.. and hide the cords with a rug or something. and make one of the sides a big flush door that you cans tell thats a door..
