I am a new (ish) member of R2R. I have been on the site for about 3 months now and have decided it is time to start a build thread. I have no idea if this is where I should do it but it seems as good a place as any.
I had a tank when I was in high school that was a 20g that I plumbed with a sump. I really liked it but never got into the corals due to not having good lighting and not much money. I am going into my third year of college soon and have a 20g NUVO that has been up and running for 2 months now. I built a custom stand for it and I currently run 2 kessil a80s on it. I plan to only keep soft and lps corals along with the fish and inverts I currently have. It cycled in about 2.5 weeks and laid fallow another 2 or so weeks. That is when I started stocking. I added a pair of clownfish as tester fish. I knew my tank was ready but wanted to see how they would do. At the time I planned on taking them out after a month and replacing them with some designer clowns but now I like them too much and have seen them grow. I then added a watchman goby and his partner the pistol shrimp. They immediately got to work on their burrows and currently seem to be doing really well.
