Notice the PVC Pipe I glued inside the tank, got the idea from this forum awhile back.

Whats are your stocking choices?

 

[truthdesigns]

I plan on adding a couple lbs of fiji and maybe some rubble in the filter.
And as for corals,
really don't know?thought about a zoo farm!!

I tried setting up a 5gallon and the sand storm wouldn't go away cause of the hang on filter was constantly sturring up the sand. Just figured i'd let you know my problem incase you run into the same problem.

Man...that looks bigger than a 2 gallon!

 

[truthdesigns]

I checked on the tank first thing this morning and the sand storm has almost cleared up!!! I love the advise keep it comming.

Well I think im gonna let the tank build some algae. I have a question, with this mini compact light and 2 gallons of water, What can I grow?
9watt att.

[alien9168]

r u going to cover the overflow column with lr?...it looks like the lr u have in there is cuved around that pipe.
Also, why not just let it get a little bit of coraline

 

[truthdesigns]

Yes I plan on adding as much live rock as possible to cover the pipe.
