Jarred1's 20 Long!

[Jarred1]

I have had this tank for about 3 years now, but I purchased it from my mom's friend that had it set up for well over 5 years. This is the tank that I use to try and rescue corals because of the age of the tank's sand bed.

Equipment:
4x24w T5HO light with stock bulbs for now.
Koralia #2
Emperor 400 HOB power filter
Marineland 100w heater

Sorry for all the sand on the left side rock, the goby is making a mess out of my tank.

One of the nicest 20 gallon tanks I have seen in a while! Is that a 20 long?

[mallorieGgator]

That looks great! It looks bigger than it really is. Love the flowyness of the soft corals.

[Jarred1]

Thank you.

It is a 20 long, I will have to get better pictures of it but I always get a glare from the window blinds and it makes the tank look weird.

Oh, I need to get new bulbs for this tank and want suggestions as to which 24w T5HO bulbs I should use.

[mallorieGgator]

Nice blasto! I use this combo on my tank for my T5s and it works great:
2 ATI Blue +
1 KZ fiji purple
1 KZ New Generation

The bulbs are a tad pricey but they are definitely worth it.

[Jarred1]

you have any pics of your tank, when you were using those bulbs?
