    20 long, new, with 25 lbs. Caribsea sand . . .

    dont have pics right now. It's pretty self explanatory really. No sump, not drilled, but it's a brand new tank so it's up to you. A 20 long could be drilled no sweat. I think it's a good format for a nano, or a small frag tank or QT. 20 long tank (www.aqueonproducts.com) Coralife aqualight...

    Brads 120 in rebuild mode

    Just moved to SoCal last June from Dallas. I had a flourishing 120G mixed Softie and LPS tank until the job forced me to relocate. Not wanting to risk my livestock, I sold it to a buddy who has an LFS in Dallas. Here is a pic of it returning slowly to glory after a 7 month hiatus.
