This is not quite in the ballpark, but since it's still only a 5.5g, I figured I'd show you:

(crappy pic)

Contains 8lbs of LR, 1 Peppermint Shrimp, 1 Green Clown Goby, a few hermits, some Zoanthids.

Wow, just did the math. There's prolly more then $150 in there! And I still need to get more Zoas and a powerhead or two. Wow. Wish I hadn't just realized how much money there all is. lol

I wish I could say that,

I try not to count the amount of money I've put into my 12g. I can't imagine how much big tanks cost to stock

Dude, don't do a pico. They're cool and everything, but they can be a real pain in the arse. Go wthi a 10g or something if you can.

The difficulty is keeping the salinity stable. I also had trouble finding the right lights for such a small area.
