5.5g zoa garden

[txg8gxp]

This tank has been running about a month now, I added my first zoas last week. So far everything is doing great. It's a standard 5.5g with 3/4-1" of sand, some old marco dry rock, a aquaclear 50 fuge mod with a aquaclear 20 impeller installed, zoomed 501 canister with purigen, bio media and foam filter. I also added a nice looking backdrop from petco.

Cool. I like that backdrop. And the aquascape.What light do you have? Do you light the fuge separately? I'm definetly going to start a nano soon. Planning on a 10ga but considering a 5.5...

The light is just a zoomed cfl fixture with a daylight 26w bulb. I will be adding some cheap blue leds soon for better color. The fuge has 8 low cost leds on the back of it, the fuge light setup cost me right at $12.
