Hey. Don't do top up's with salt water your slanity will go through the roof. Top up with fresh water. Salt does not evaporate but the water does. If salt evaporated we would have a bunch of salt water rivers. Wouldn't that be cool though.

The hex tank you linked would be perfect, the 10 Watt bulb fits just right in there. The HOB goes on the back (you may have to trim some parts), try and make it all as closed as possible, to minimize Evap. Top off DAILY...well, I've left it three days without top off and everything was fine. But DAILY with RO/DI water is best. The 10 Watt Coralife 50/50 should be avail. at most fish or pet stores.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I did that Pico for my Brother, who has NO EXPERIENCE with Aquariums. It's been running for 4 months with no problems. It houses a bunch of Frags, 3 Hermits, 3 Snails, and even a small Damsel. Wasn't sure about the Fish, but it's very happy and healthy in there. It dug out almost all the sand behind the rocks for a territory, but pops out and swims around when someone is in front of the tank. The HOB Mini is about 20-30 GPH, the Tank is 1 Gallon, so there's 20-30X turnover.
