First saltwater tank build! 20g

[blub_blub]

Hi all! I had a mini jellyfish tank years ago but I've always wanted a coral tank, finally giving it a go!

Equipment:
20gal JBJ rimless AIO
Filter floss
AI prime reef
Tunze 3155 ato
Home assistant leak sensor for backup tunze shutoff before overflow due to overflow paranoia
Inkbird temp controller + 2 50w eheim heaters
(currently not planning on a skimmer)

Current fish plan (in order):
1 Yellow watchman goby + 1 randall shrimp
1 Royal gramma
1 Green clown goby
1 Clownfish

Inverts:
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
3-5 sexy shrimp
Snails as needed
Maybe some hermit crabs

Once the tank is more mature:
Lots of soft corals and LPS (hammers, etc)


Current status: aquascape finished, tank and most equipment assembled, cycling close to finished!

Can you share pics of your jelly tank? Theyre one of my favorite marine animals

One of my favorites too!! I freed a bunch of space on my phone and I can’t find the photos unfortunately :(

I got the 5gal tank from jellyfish art when it was back in the kickstarter stage. Pretty easy to setup and very peaceful to watch.

Looks nice. It’s just a question of is there going to be enough rock work for those fish to all carve out their own little areas.

I am a bit worried about that too. I believe the royal gramma will be inside the rock work most the time. Should I be worried about the green clown goby not having enough hiding space?

You might be ok. You can always add rock if it’s a problem. I’d stock the clowns last. To avoid them claiming the whole tank and hassling every new addition
