Re: !!!20g for reals!!!

Mario, where is that cut and paste job I got you to enter into TOTM? I want to compare!
Seriously, some say the skimmer is essential for a small tank. On day 3 it isn't really, but you will appreciate one when you finally get it. It is amazing how much crap they can pull out.
Other than that...what is for supper? I see something on the stove top!

Re: !!!20g for reals!!!

Upon careful review of that cut and paste job, I think it is safe to say that you will need a bigger tank! I don't see the aiptasia in the cut and paste job. lol

Re: !!!20g for reals!!!

hahaha ya, ill up date the minute something happens, wich by the way, I have a ton of worms, I placed the live ones on the sand and they quickly dug under the sand. i sumetimes see ones poking its head out like a garden eel.
Becky, I never really made a cut & paste job for the 20g, this is like the preview of the 55g, or bigger hopefully :P
