20 Gallon - Clownfish Tank

So, my lovely wife who tells me that I am spending too much money on the saltwater hobby. I come home one day and she informs me she has found a paired set of Black Ocellaris Clownfish. LOL. Looks like she has gotten the bug. (I think she actually enjoys the tanks but does not want to admit it. At least not too much.)
Here is the pair in QT:

The tank is a 20 Gallon Tall which was a freshwater tank. Here is the initial setup with the rock and such. Fortunately, I was able to get the tank up and cycling for a bit before I got the clownfish. First aquascape attempt:

Additionally, I decided to do a rapid LED build. (The wife liked the idea of not having to replace bulbs at least once a year.)
So, here is the lights:

Soldering the wires and gluing on:

First soldering attempt. Not too bad I thought.
Mounted and on:


Second attempt at aquascaping:

Chaeto added to the mechanical filter as a mini refugium. (Will have to see if it works. Fingers crossed):

Lid for the tank. Lets the light in and hopefully keeps the fish in as well:

Coral hitchhiker. Seems to be doing fine:

Finally, the clowns were moved over today. Tank has been cycled for a bit and time to get the clowns out of QT:

I will have to post some updates to this as the tank matures. I hope to move over a few corals and maybe get a host for the clowns in the distant future. They will be the only fish in the tank. (Hope to get them to breed in the future. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif)

 

Thanks Corallimorph! Your help was fantastic. It would not have turned out nearly as nice without your help! Thanks again!

 

Thanks. Craigslist believe it or not. The guy was upgrading to a bigger tank and looking for other things to put in instead.
