Well for the past 8 months ive been takin care of my 90g sps/lps tank and i wanted to set up something new. I decided to try a 5.5g frag tank of various softies and lps. ( mainly zoas) anyways i never have felt the need to do anything with it because if i have the urge to buy anything i allways want to put it in my main display tank.

Heres what i have and what i paid for it about amonth or two ago

It is a 5.5g black trim aga.-12, aquaclear filter that pushes 150gph- 25, 5lbs of black sand-5, 2-3lbs of lr( fully cured now and growing coraline)-20, jager 100w heater-22, thermometer-3,mag float-8, and the thing most important the lighting..1x32w smartpaq pc retrofit- which was 60 bucks with shipping. i also have a DIY canopy that looks decent but could use some trim to cover up the nails(cherrish classic oak stain).

also the tank has a small colony of what were radioactive green zoas in my 90g but have browned and yellowed up in this tank.. about 20polyps on it. i threw a silver dollars size neon red mushrrom in there and 4 hermit crabs and a cerith snail.

all of the stuff like i said is like twso months old so basically new. i paid pretty much 160 for it all and im willing to sell it to get it off my hands for 120


Ok... is this a good deal? hes letting me have it for $100 dollars... and what else would yall sugest me put in it? Thanks alot....

5.5?If you get another one you could turn it into a qt tank

It is very hard to keep a stable temperature in a small tank. I have a six gallon reef tank, but I can only keep dusters and sponges in it and keep the temp stable. Its not a bad idea to just make a dark reef out of nano tanks unless you plan to cool it.

I've kept plenty of nano and pico tanks. They're pretty entertaining and often disheartening. If you can keep SPS you should be pretty good with a tank that size. The same rules apply with SPS as they do with small tanks. Water quality, flow, and lighting. You simply have to work with small components.
