Hey all, I keep looking at my icky-looking 5gall (that is right next to the comp.) and keep looking at every one's awesome pics... and just keep thinking how much better It would be if it was a nano reef.... (it is currently my like..."throw away tank" I just put all my extra plants in it and it looks terrible)...and it wouldn't be tooo terribly hard to make into a mini reef.....(just with lower lights..) ... I mean I have the tank (thats it LOL) it is this look and shape but only a 5gall not 12 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=3865&N=2004+62760 but the light I "would" get is a coralife 2x9 watt - http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=11382&N=2004+113345 and was just curious to know what all would be diff. than my 29gall....I would just get about 3 pounds of LR then some other kind of rock... and I would just put 1, maybe 2 little clown goby's (maybe one yellow and one black..I think they are sooo cute) and maybe like 5 mini hermits and a shrimp..... my only prob. would be getting sand without getting tooo much sand, as the only sand that either of my LFS cary is the 20 and 40 pound bags.... oh well... anyways I was just curious...also, my birthday is like in like 25 day's..... and I was showing this http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=15493&N=2004+62760 to my dad, and he said it looked nice, and I said, well it would be a nice b-day present...and he diddnt say anything 8O (he usually objects, and pitches a fit...) and I would much rather go with that as I like the look of it, and the 5gall could be my sisters (could have her dalmatians balloon molly..she loves it ) anyways...just wanted to get ya'lls opinions
