Thought Id show my 20g long.

Its nothing special at the moment, more a frag tank than a nano, but its been doing pretty nicely over the 2 months Ive had it running (1 month of it it was just water...).









Let the comments (or critisism) begin

aw no turbo? hey what lighting do you have on your tank? and the mangroves are cool too. what made you put them in your dt. iv always wanted a silvia with a RB-26(yea that will be the day) . oh well that will be a sweet car once its done. we cant get the silvia in the states you have to by a 240-SX and buy the JDM front clip to convert it into the silvia.

thats a turbo, sr20det ^^. cant you see the bov on the right side?
and albuquerque is the states lol. you dont need a clip, just the motor and harness pretty much, it all bolts up, same motor mounts and everything. sr swap is cake compared to the 3s swap on my sw20 lol.

lighting on tank is 130w power compacts. and I put mangroves in the DT because the I figured it take some attention away from the emptiness of the tank, They were moved to my main 125 tank in styrofoam, and my puffers both destroyed the roots and killed all of them...

I think it looks fine. My only suggestion is maybe add more live rock.
