Hey guys,

I just got a new tank its awsome.
AGA 2.5g tank - drilled w/ bulk head and stand pipe
AGA 2.5g sump - baffles already in place
Stand and canopy
Retro 2 X 9 installed in canopy w/ parabolic reflector and bulbs
- also has a switch so you can burn one or both bulbs
PH for return - tested lots of pumps and PH. This one was perfect
7w 6700k PC refugium light w/ reflector
50w heater
Sanders Piccolo skimmer
Now what to put in it zoas maybe? What are some corals you think would be cool in it. the unit is 26''tall total.

yea, the tanks only 8''tall just the stand makes it look so big. Im going to a frag auction this weekend and buying some frags and put them in my 55gal till this tank is ready.
