Taken a Crack At it 1.5 Gallon

[Tank2379]

Just get a small HOB filter. It will have enough power and suction to create a sufficient downward flow. I'm thinking a nice little LED strip will make great lighting for the tank to.

I was looking for one today at Petsmart the smallest they have is for a 10 gallon tank...As for LED lighting sounds good... Where would I find something like that you think Home Depot?

Aquarium supplies for your tropical fish tank, saltwater fish tank, saltwater aquarium fish, freshwater aquarium fish & reef aquarium. Aquarium filters, aquarium lighting, aquarium tanks, protein skimmers & more for your reef tank. has great prices on led lighting but I'm sure theres some people who have written articles online about the LED lighting.

As far as the filters go you'll be fine with one rated for a 10g as long it fits. The more it can use the better flow you will have.

Sounds Good looks like a Aqua-Clear Would be my choice I probably would just added LR Rubble nothing else.... I just need Flow.... Lighting how many Watts Should I be good with 15watts?

 

[OniTweak]

The wattage thing is kind of thrown out the window. I would imagine a 15w compact fluorescent would be sufficient though.

I don't think 15W would be enough. I run 26W (2x13W PC) on my FW planted tank. catalina aquariums carries the fixture - either in 10" or 12" dimensions.

For filters, I run this on my FW 2.5g.

Good info on the Lighting .... Nice!!! I Definitely be getting one I already saw which one I want 8inch 2x13watts Great.... As for the filter it's cheap but i found one with Cheaper Shipping on Ebay nano Made by Red Sea

[neilanh]

I wouldn't think so since it came straight from your running system.

 

[Tank2379]

Good Stuff... Hopefully everything will turn out ok? Any Idea for small Anemonie? I know Aiptasia But I might remove some like rock since it's 2 Gallons I might have about 7LBS of LR in there which I would cut down 2 4LBS only Should be good..... Especially to make room....

Clean up crew

 

[Tank2379]

Duh Brain Fart!!!! Well I eliminated Two Pretty good Size pieces of LR so I have room for fish to rome I have exactly 5.5 LBS of LR in me tank which is great....But of Course a CUC wouldn't be Much I am thinkin of a Sexy Shrimp or a Neon Goby or maybe Both? If possible

 

[roka64]

Sexy shrimp would be good....how about this for a goby, they are relatively small:
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Hi Fin Red Banded Goby
But it still may be a stretch for such a small tank.
You might want to go with inverts only....

Nice!!!... Yes Sexy would be a Good Pick up.... But the Hi-Fi Banded Would be a Good addition.... Maybe I would add him first if he looks un happy I will just give him a Bigger home....... But in any case Right now just sitting back and making sure my parameters are ok before adding anything yet.... I was thinking about trying to merge my 2 gallon with the 55 gallon but I might just hold of for now and see how this is going to work first....
