Sean's 20G long

Finally posting pics of my tank and talking about it! So the basics its about 5 months old. 20 gallon long 2 power heads 1 hydor 180 gph and a AquaClear 20 gallon rated power head. Whisper Filter, 18 lb of live rock 1.5 inchs of live sand. for now i have 3 snails 1 shell less snail 4 hermits 1 skunk cleaner and a corcea clam. I am currently in the market for a new light system because i can not find replacement bulbs for my current one which sucks because i really like it.















and moon lighting!


there will be more to come once my tank is settled more

 

Hi, Sean. The tank seems to be coming along quite well. I do like your aquas-scape.

What fixture do you have over the tank? Some insight on that will let me help you out with finding new bulbs.

Do you have any idea what would would like, livestock-wise (fishes)?

 

I honestly don't know what the brand name on my light is. But if you look in the t5 lighting section i have a post trying to find bulbs. Livestock I way a bangiee cardinal and a black and white clown that's all I want it mainly coral

 

Is it an 18" or 24" fixture? 4 bulbs, correct?

 

You can find replacement bulbs at ReefGeek > Aquarium Supplies for Marine, Reef, and Saltwater Aquariums. They sell metal halide, compact flourescent, and T5HO lighting. I would suggest buying ATI or Gesiman bulbs. They top-of-the-line bulbs and should last you a good 12 months. Bukbs will generally cost you around $25 each, regardless of the brand. Some of the cheaper brands will run less.

 

It's a 24 inch fixture but I can't find the bulbs anywhere because of the weird prong set up

 

OK, will will want the 24 watt/22.2" bulbs.

Looks nice.


Did the clam attach to that spot? That is a good one.

Perhaps try craigslist for lights.

I see no fish?

 

I moved it there a bit ago because I was told my light system is to weak so I moved him high and he hast moved yet. No fish I am still fighting the cyno algae and trying to get my tank to settle for now. Maybe in a month I'll put in a fish

 

Oh and I'm probably doing a DIY led set up
