It's a 5.5g AGA tank. It didn't come with anything. I picked which filters/heater/lights i wanted. The black canopy is also something different. My friend built it for me.
 
what kind of filter, skimmer, lighting are you using? i have a 5.5 aga also that i want to set up but i dont know what equipment to use.
 
Wow, looks amazing! A word of friendly advice, whcih of course you do not have to take: Get that grape caulerpa out of there in a hurry! Once it takes hold, it grows like mad, and is impossible to completely remove. I had it in a 7 gallon once and would never use it again.

Hey there fellow Charlestonian. Always nice to run into a local on here (doesn't happen often). Tank looks awesome and you have one heck of a zoa collection going there. Hopefully I'll have some soon in my 55.

Great job and you have a 54 corner as well? Just looked at your signature.

It's a Christimas Tree Worm Rock. You can do a search on Google.com and come up with some more pics. All the sizes and shapes of the rocks will vary though...
 
Do you have a reflector on ur lights..
I am planning a similar set up..
A 5.5 gal with 2X24 blubs..

I also have 2x24's on mine. They came in a retrokit. There both 10,000k 50/50's. I don't have a reflector on mine. I just screwed them into the top of the hood. The inside of the hood is painted white. I spaced them out so that i could also fit a 1 watt Coralife LED moon light in there. There is definately room for 3x24's, but could make it work with only 2. The only thing i would be worried about is the heat off of another bulb. I've got a small piece of glass in the bottom of my hood to keep water from coming in contact with the bulbs and also to cut down on some of the heat. I use a small fan on the back of my tank to blow on the bulbs to keep the temp around 79.
