Tank 2.5 AGA 7$
lighting is 40watts 50/50 23$
movement/extra volume AC 70 22$
AWSOME hood/base made my HogWinslow 32$shipped in my case
sockets and wire for lights from lowes 10$
25watt heater 12$

lights were secured to hood with industrial strenght velcro.

As of now im not sure what i will put in the tank, but it will be coral w/ mabye a clown goby or something like that down the road but for now just coral.

any input on weather i should go BB or just a little sand would be helpful. and should i keep the media in the ac70. i was going to put the heater in it and mabye just the carbon and a little spong but idk.

please leave responses to better help this project of mine.

if you do run sand it will be all over the place i have a 2.5 with an aquaclear mini and it blows the sand around. for lighting you should have when with the 18 watt pc's more light for a little more money. throw in some zoo's and shrooms they do great under those lights and i had 4 clown gobies in my for awhile without a problem until i moved them into a 5.5. good luck with it and keeps us updated
