This tank is about 2 months old, but I will first show the early photos so you can get an idea of the progression.

I will post some more recent pics soon. Everything has grown a lot since these were taken. The BTA is about two or three times as big. I just need to take some decent pics and then I will post them.
By the way, lighting is 2x 75W VHO. My future plans are to get a small clown to host in the BTA and then add maybe two or three more corals and then just let stuff grow in.
Comments and questions are appreciated. Thanks.

Do you have a pic of the inside of the canopy? I'd love to see it. I'm wondering how much clearance you have with a 24" tank, with 24" bulbs. Looks like it's coming along nicely.

Thanks for the compliment Tripstank. Yeah the lighting is VHO.

Mikeeal: I will take some shots of the hood for you later today. No problem.

mr pink floyd: I am not positive, but I believe it is a frag of a colt coral,
genus Cladiella

Wow thats a really pretty tank.. I think that is red macro algea? Looks really cool.

What are the dimensions of that tank? Basically between a 20L and a 10g?

Thanks.
I built the hood. The components were from Hello Lights. It was a very cheap way to get a lot of light in my opinion.

Thanks. The red macro is called Botryocladia. It's a great choice for small tanks as it stays manageable.

Mikeeal got the dimensions right for you.

OK here are a bunch of canopy pictures for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully the size of the pics is right....
