  • what to do with a 2.5?

    So I finally put my shrimp in their 20 high and now I have an extra 2.5. Any ideas for saltwater?

            the money will really just be put into the coral colony more then anything. you can basiclly run a nano filter and a good low light bulb because zoas don't need to much lighting. maybe a strip of LEDs? if i had a 5 gallon I could get the nano t5 coralife light and do lps which I might eventually do but, over all for my 2.5 i'll probably be spending maybe $60?

                      what to do with a 2.5?

                      I just saw the harliquins today! Look awesome! Btw I did a 5 gallon nano reef. A lot easier to work with and you can use a lot more equipment vs the 2.5

                          I would keep just one big scoly in there!

                          Feed it rib eye steak.

                              As for saltwater.... I would say some cool zoas with sexy shrimp. Can't really keep any fish. Maybe a pair or 2 pair of sexies would be boss.
