the one thing i am wondering is about the lighting
it has a 25 watt incundesent
would this work? or is incundesent not good enough

The All-Glass acrylic (sort of ironic they make acrylic tanks with a company name like All-Glass) 2.5 gal mini bow we setup a couple of weeks ago had a 15 watt incandescent. The bulb thread is the same as any household incandescent bulb, and the bulb gave off the most horrible yellow light. I retrofitted to a 15 watt Envirolite. It's gives full daylight white light and the bulb is a curly sort of thing. Bought at one of my least favourite lfs for livestock, but they sometimes have surprising products at reasonable prices.
