So I've had this 20 long up once before....
Had my t5 over it everything was doing amazing. Then decided to get a sbreef led and put over it. Wasent the best idea as I bleached all my coral... fast.
Now I've got my led's over my 75 and everything seems to be fine.

Now I've went and bought new sand and new rock time to make this tank what it once was again.
I got the rock, sand, and water in today.
I put my original t5 over it again for future lighting. I'm starting this thread as a journal for myself and whomever may wanna follow along.

I decided not to sump it.. rather just use a hob filter. I may upgrade to a aquaclear in the future but as of now I have 30+ days of cycling.

Not gonna list the equipment that's cause I really don't have much in it. A light that will be off the majority of the time and a cheap hob filter. And a 100w heater.

Plans for the tank include...
Possibly a pair of clowns with anenome..
Possibly a goby shrimp pair...
Soft corals.. palys and zoas. Maybe others.

Anything anyone would like to add or maybe help me with on a smaller tank.. I'm always up for learning more.

Thanks to all that stuck around.

Yes @Evan West I do plan on putting in the powerheads. Have been looking at a jebao wp10. The smallest one. I have reviewed it and watched videos. But nothing with the fine sand as I have so not to sure how well that'd work with a hob.

@revhtree glad to have you abroad.

I do have a powerhead in there.. it's a really small nano one so not much water movement. The filter does most of movement as of now. I also have a gravity fed ato that is on a float.. in the picture.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
