    hey everyone i wanted to show all of you my new 20 gallon tank i set up this is the first time ive had a fish tank since i was around 6 years old. what i have for this set up is the 20 gallon tank am using a HOB filter and i cheaper power head. i have 2 clown fish and one damsel for my fish and i think that's the only fish im gonna put in. for the live rock i have reel reef for about half of it and im not sure where the rest came from but it was cheap for a total of a little over 20 LBS. my next plan for this tank is to upgrade the lighting so that i can put some corals in there and get a anemone that my clowns will hopefully host. so far my fish seem to be really happy and healthy i first put water in the tank about a month ago and have had fish in there for about a week without any problems so far.

    I thought I'd give an update on my tank it's doing good one of my clowns died ute I'm not sure what happened. All test come back fine. I also changed the rock scape. So far my other 2 fish are healthy and active. I think I might upgrade to a 55 gallon tank though any idea where I could find the cheapest acrylic tank.
