Hey guys,

I just got a new tank its awsome. Ill keep you updated weekly.
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 i think its going to be zoas only. As i said the pics.

I was thinking the same thing.

Neat little set up, I'll be interested in seeing how this one evolves.
