I've decided to start a topic here even though nothing is ready, and everything is at home. My plan is to do a bare bones set up with minimal equipment.
I have a tank I was building for dart frogs that i've decided to use for this purpose. It contains about 5g maybe less, I need to get the actual dimensions when I get home. For lighting, I plan to use the best out there, the sun. I have a westerly window in my room, and I plan to put the tank on the windowsill. For water circulation I plan to use an airstone driven system. I want to be able to leave the tank in my dorm over short breaks and not have to worry wether they shut off the electricity.
For stocking, I plan to take some sand from my sandbed at home and a few pieces of rubble rock and zoas and other softies as well as macros from my 46 at home. I'm not sure on wether I'll have fish or inverts in the tank, that'll depend on what I can find locally or at home, maybe a damsel of sorts.
I'm pulling heavily on Tiny's sunlit pico for inspiration, a lot of the ideas I'm using were implemented in his tank. I'd like to welcome any thoughts and discussion, this will be an experimental tank with the purpose of showing that current reef keeping methods are not the only methods to keeping a healthy, thriving and hopefully beautiful tank.
