2 Gallon Acrylic Tank?!

[Hentz]

So my dad sent me a picture a few days ago of an acrylic box someone made at his work and tossed. So he, thinking it was cool, picked it up. Well me, thinking it was like 15-25 gallons saw it for the first time tonight, and it ended up being 2 gallons.... Pictures don't do justice lol.

Anyways, its pretty cool. 15x5x6. Was thinking, maybe I can do a nano tank? Some sand, rock, powerhead and a light. THATS IT!

Or I was also thinking (yes this is off topic) but a little terrarium. What do you all think?

I cleaned it up a bit, and it is clear as day!

Sounds like a really cool build if you're up for the challenge.

Drill it and add it to your 75 lol

Lol hmm... What would I do with it if I drill it to my 75?!

Choose some type of specific coral and make a garden, like rics or zoas. Would look neat! And some sexy shrimp.

I like that idea +1

Instead of a powerhead, drill it and install a canister filter to the drilled fittings and then use the canister return for your flow. Alot of nano guys do this as its clean and adds more water capacity to your setup. Good luck!

Curious... I'm thinking Zoas/Rics.

I've got the Solana 34 stand I'm going to put this on, if I do it. Now here's my goal, PLEASE tell me if this will not work or is stupid haha.

Taking my 2 gallon tank, throwing some LS and LR in there, and adding zoas. Though, my room faces the sun when it comes up. Do you think if I put the tank in front of my window, I could use natural sunlight to light my corals?

I vote on a desktop zoa garden.

What I'm aiming for. Just debating on using either a Wavepoint LED or natural sunlight!

So here is a little update.. I took the Solana off my Elos style stand, and placed this 2 gallon tank over it. I think I may run it long ways. Debating if I'm still using sunlight or an LED still.

All I'll have in there, is a nano power head. Nothing more lol.

Maybe some macro algae for natural filtration aside from the LR and LS.
