First SW attempt - 5.5g Pico!

Not bad! That spotted shroom should be fine where it is, you don't want to subject it to alot of flow, or it won't fully expand. Light is not a big issue with reg. shrooms. You'll like the Trumpet, super easy Coral. Don't be surprised if those star polyps don't open for a while, they're best when left alone, once they start opening, they'll do well. The Shrimp is HOT

Thanks! I'm really thrilled so far. I'm just concerned about getting the salinity and water "kosher" - thanks to Seahorse_fanatic who set me up with an AMAZING little tank system for dirt, DIRT cheap!!

I can't wait to get those LED lights and I may jump on at least one 50/50 20w bulb to really make the tank pop I can imagine what some of the polyps would look like in that lighting!

Any other tips on placement of powerheads and such to make sure the tank is as stable as possible? I'm glad I got the rotating powerhead especially now!!

Sure, you thank Anthony now, but will you still thank him when you have 500g of salt water in the house, the floor boards are creaking, the spouse is threatening to leave and you found a really great deal on another 300g system

Nice looking little tank.

hahahah - as long as he gives me a deal, I'll not only thank him, I'll KISS HIM!!

Although this would happen minutes before my wife kills me =/
