Ok, to start I picked up a 5 gallon acrylic thanks to my dad ( old feeder fish/ hodge podge tank from years ago). Cleaned it super well, looks brand new, want to start a tiny coral and tiny crustacean tank, no fish. It comes with a filter, tube pump then filter than bio wheel then out, don't know how much of that I will need but all the old stuff is gone obviously.
( (tl;dr) what do I need all to set up? Lol))
First question, it has a spot for a bulb, tried it last night and it fits a normal lightbulb, but not much bigger. Came with a tiny halogen style bulb,
But in this case what wattage, size, style type etc would you guys recommend for that little tank? I think I am going to go closed lid because the whole setup is there, but to save on heat I may splice in a tiny computer fan to help dissipate heat, there is just a metal plate and some holes there now to keep it from melting the plastic. Thank you in advance, there is question one lol
