Hey everyone,
Been a long time but I'm jumping back into the reefing world with a 20 gallon H build (and a 20 gallon shallow freshwater pond tank). I'm in the process of setting everything up today and will post updates when things settle out.
I'm starting with a heavy load of "live" rock and will be aiming to keep an all natural filtration system since my other nano builds from the past were all successful using this method, as long as all of the parameters were checked consistently and I was religious with water changes.
Below are a couple pictures of the "pond" 20 gallon that started cycling yesterday, added a couple guppies until things are steady and ready for shrimp and plants.
Side note, does anyone in the Malden/Medford area have a cup of sand they could give me to seed my tank?
