Sweet build. I've been eyeing the WP25 for my own tank, but I'm afraid it'll be waaaayyy too much flow=sand storm as I'm downsizing to a 20L. Sounds like you have it nicely dialed in. Where did you get the magnets for the frag rack and how did you attach them to the egg crate?

For the 20L you would be able to use a WP25. Just minimize the amount of sand in the tank if not go bare bottom. Our tanks are about the same length I just have an extra 4" in height. I got a little sand storm in the beginning but after 30 min or so it need and now I just have a few spots that have no sand covering.

As far as the magnets I order a set of off eBay. I don't remember what they are called but if you do a little bit of searching on google you will find information about what magnates to use. One thing I would make sure you do though is to use aquarium silicon to glue them down and then cover them as they will rust. Hope that helps.

Oh just wait I'm starting the stand for my frag tank this weekend. Picked up all the wood for the frame last night. :)

Great pics. I need to learn how to take decent ones so I can do an update
Thanks man. I've been using my DSLR more and more. The tank's have helped me bring it back out as I stopped shooting a few years ago. I have a full studio setup but lost my drive to shoot photography. It's slowly coming back now. Next time I see you remind me to show you some photos of my last photo shoot.

For sure. I just got my first dslr like a month ago and have been practicing, making some progress little by little. Photography class in h.s. was years ago for me but I remember a bit

Just remember like your photography class you still have to edit a shot before printing. I have a bunch of methods I use to bring out the colors more and sharpen the right areas. Like all the photos in my last photo update are actually using the same sharpening layers I use for my glamour photography. As far as colors you need to know what to correct, when, and how. Each image took me 5 min to prep in Photoshop before exporting for the web.

But all of that start with a great photograph that's up to the photographers eye to capture.

nice Mike, just giving you an update the Sunny D's and Zippers you sold me are doing really well. It doubled since I last met you. How's the other tank going?

Sweet... Good to hear. The frag tank is doing great, actually so far that system is more stable then my display. I need to get a posbon reactor in this guy so that I can fight the constant battle with PO4.

btw do you use a macro lens? like your shots
These shot I actually did with my canon 24-70L f2.8 lens. My Macro lens has been with a buddy for the last month or so plus it's not as sharp as shooting with this lens.
