my mom's last fish just died in here tank so i'm getting the tank. :) so i was wondering if those of you who have really small tanks could post some pics so that i could get some ideas of how i want to set it up. it has a 7wat light and a hang off the back filter. i've never had something this small so any help would be great. thanks.

does anyone have tanks less then 5 gal? if so how big is your tank, what's the wattage and what kind of filtration do you have running?

Probably some zoas and mushrooms to be safe. I have a 2.5G with a coralife 18W and I have the entire bottom covered with Green Star Polyps currently. I am going to be soon updating it and adding a false wall, powerhead, and some live rock. Its basically my "desk top" tank at my dorm and then I have my 12G also. I plan to stock the 2.5G with all the new growth from my corals in the 12G.
