I like the rockscape I've always thought smaller tanks are so much harder to set up!

It's a current satellite 12 single 18watt 50/50 10k/460. I also plan to add an Eccoxotic led strip in the future now I just need to get some colorful corals.

That is a great find! I had to get a par38 bulb for my pico, never found a light like that one. Good deal.

make sure you post pictures when you get some more corals.

Yeah I got lucky and just got it before anybody started to bid on it because I knew how hard they are to come across .
