Nice! I love my 20 long. Great size for a starter reef tank.

Good to hear! Pics?

In today's "wide screen" and budget conscious world, they do well, and since I acquire coral very slowly, a bigger tank would look very bare in my case. I am very satisfied with the tank size, and I think this tank will look nice as it matures.

Got a few coral frags from a fellow hobbyist in Indiana, PA this weekend. I am in love with the green trumpets, but I have no idea what the green SPS coral is.

very nice. i too am amidst setting up a 20 gallon. I like how you didn't go crazy with live rock. good job! what lighting are you running? your trumpet coral, the green one (i think thats what it is), its got some brown on it like mine does. fyi, don't pour your water from water changes over the top of it, it can damage it.

Hi, It's 2 par 30 LED's from Boost LED, each one centered over a rockpile about 8 inches above the water surface. 50/50 between whites and blues. The trumpet came from a pretty big colony, so I cut individual polyps and epoxy puttied them to the rock. The one with the brown in it was on the underside of the colony, so we'll see if it gets more color now that it has light exposure.
