Today marks day 3 of my new salt water tank. I have been pretty excited the last two weeks while building my stand to buying equipment and supplies. I can say that I did my research, watched YouTube videos on new reef tanks, read countless forums, including Reef Central, The Frag Tank and CanReef.

I started a 20 Gallon Long with the hopes that it'll be a reef tank with a couple display fish, TBD and a modest clean up crew. Listed are the components of my tank:

20L tank (30"x13"x13") (Pet Valu)
AquaClear 50 (Petsmart)
Eheim Jager 75W heater (Amazon)
Hydor Koralia 425 (Amazon)
Viparspectra 165W LED (Amazon)
24lb dry rock (Sam's Pampered Pets & Aqua Animania)
15lb CaribSea Aragonite (Big Al's Online)

I have started a new Instagram page if you are interested as well. www.instagram.com/mynewreef/

DrBlueThumb: Taking pics can be done like mine: dslr,tripod,remote switch,exyension tubes and a 50 mm lens. it's the cheapest way to go but you have very few inches of focus distance. So I put the camera against the tank and the coral up against the glass Mar 27, 2017 12:10:39 GMT *

DrBlueThumb: I like to take pics in the dark. and then focus stack them using photoshop. This is done by taking several pics @ diferent focuses and using the program to blend them together. Mar 27, 2017 12:16:24 GMT
