tribbitt's 20L Nano Build

As you might be able to tell from my signature, I am experimenting with photo uploads on this site. The pictures in this post aren't using the experimental methods, but maybe soon (once I get it working) I can upload higher-res pictures :0

I didn't post any full tank shots in the last update so I took some just now

Ignore the Nexus Burst in the cup - I don't know where to put it so I poked 2 holes in a frag cup, and hung those holes on the in-tank knobs on the Kessil gooseneck. I did pull it out for the FTS

Long way:

FTS (same as in my signature, I took it a few days ago)

I'm torn on the GSP. It's ugly right now, looks like radioactive clouds, but maybe it'll look better grown in? Perhaps replace it with zoas? Or should I peel it off entirely and leave the back blank?

I have removed it in spots and glued acros directly to the back glass, where they're currently encrusting. Maybe that could work across more of the back?

look, BAR sticker!

I also got a budget build tank from @Srt4eric PIF (thank you!) Once I get a heater, pump, and light mount, I can get things set up and running!
 
Looking great.

What size heater watts do u need, I have a few extras from a tank break down I got some equipment from. One of the heaters may Be the right size for you?
 
Turns out if you use ultrawide, the tank looks extra big. Does this look like 20g to you?

This one’s not so impressive because @RandyC was so generous with frag size at the swap, but there’s already a couple new branches on the right side

Your tank looks amazing! Do your corals sting each other, being so close?

Thank you! Yes, coral warfare is spooky, so I do think a lot about placement. I'm sure it's not perfect, but placement and flow direction does help. Although, some corals seem to be able to touch without a problem, and sometimes it's not the ones I expect at all.

Corals growing into each other isn't something I can "placement" away though, so eventually I'll have to frag more, or begin pulling some pieces out
