Just bought all the stuff for my first pico tank.

Well I would be posting pics of the set up right now but I just got home from work and just found out that I will have to drill a hole in my entertainment stand to run wires through. Tell me if you think I am missing anything or would any of you do it diffrent. This is the same setup that I got at work and the one at work was going good till they made me take it down.

Its a 2 1/2 gal with a small Aquaclear filter slammed full of live rubble. I am using RO water for fill up and top offs. As far as lights go I have a 19 watt compact bulb that will set on the top of the tank. Its going to have about 3lbs of live sand out of my 55 gal. And I got about 4lbs of cured live rock to go into the tank. Here is a few pics of what it looked like at the store.

looks nice... I'm in the process of setting up a 2.5 (moving some rocks/livestock from my 12g). I thought about a filter hanging on the side to add water volume and act as a fuge, but i wanted to do a closed top to battle evaporation. Have you messed around with the idea of a closed-top and just using natural filters?
