Inspired by a 5.5 project I saw on RC (never saw a nano), I set up a 2.5 bow that a girl I am dating gave me. It was set up the beginning of April and I just added its one and only fish, a small false perc. Right now the only other occupants are 2 blue leg hermits and a set of shrooms.

My plan had been to run some cheato in the hang on filter, but I was not sure how to provide the light. Today while at the Dollar Tree I saw LED battery powered lights. I had a multivolt power adapter laying around so I decided to give it a go.

The power source is 300ma. Not sure if that will be too much. I wired it parallel. I put one set over the filter (above a small amount of cheato) and the other set at the dark end of the tank. My Compact flo. bulb sits more to one end.

looks good but you can't keep a clown fish in that small of tank, they need at least a 30g no matter how small they are.
