Hello everyone. My name is Marlon, but people call me Fat Panda.
Here is a little background on myself. I started this hobby a little over a year ago after a few friends started up reef tanks of their own.
I started off with a 10 gallon tank and some live rock and sand that couple friends donated to me along with some seed water. needless to say the reefing bug bit me harder then it had them. After packing my tank with rock and fish and coral. i quickly upgraded to a 20 gallon tall. now currently this tank is packed beyone belief with corals and rock and fish. I have since gotten a 40B tank to hopefully end my small tank problems. it will take me a while to fill this one up i am sure. haha. i have not set up the 40b yet because i am in the process of building a sump for it out of a custom 32 gallon glass rimless that was given to me. but right now money is slowing me down. so i am just growing out my corals to hopefully fund my project. now on to the pictures. hope you all enjoy. any feed back would be great. here is a list of some of the equipment that i currently have on my 20 tall tank.

Kessil A360we
Kessil spectral controller
CPR backpack refugium/skimmer
Fluval 305 canister
Hydor wavemaker with two hydor pumps (small ones)
Hydor 50watt heater.

about 30 pounds live rock.
25 pounds live sand. 20 in tank and 5 in refugium
in my refugium i have Chaeto macro algae, and Dragons Breath algae

My Tank Mates.
x2 True Sebae Clowns.
Yasha goby
Tiger pistol shrimp
Tuxedo Urchin
Pom Pom crab. (i havent seen him in months)
horsehoe crab (havnt seen it since i got it.)
Bumblebee snails
x10 astrea snails

Corals- i have over 50 different frags of zoanthids and Palthoas that i cant remember the names to for the life of me. and a bunch of misc other corals that i think look great.

now onto the pictures.

Welcome! Looks like you are packed in there. 40b are nice sized tanks, their footprint gives plenty of aquascaping options.

welcome to the forum and it looks like you weren't kidding that you've got your 20 packed! You chose a nice tank to upgrade to.
