Default New Tank Don't Laugh

OK I got the biggest tank I could get in my room with my other 3 tanks. It came complete with filter and light. I took the water, LS and LR from my refuguim so I expect a short or no cycle. But I accidentally got a Dwarf Red Tip Hermit Crab in the sand or rock while I was taking it out so he is there and seems to be doing fine. OK now don't laugh it is a Red Sea Deco Art Aqua Vase and holds about a quart of water with a 7w compact fluorescent. The thermometer goes from the top of the tank to the sand. Take a look if you are not laughing to hard.

Becky you can see my start here. It is a $40.00 Reef now and they said this was a expensive hobby. I took a Xenia Frag, Kenya Tree frag and 2 Zoanthid polyps on a rock out of my other tank. The Zoos don't show in the pic or movie I will have to get a pic at a different angle to show them. Check out the flow this little tank has in the movie. As for size it is a little less then a 1/2 gal. What do you think a 10 gal sump?

Have you guys seen some of the awesome pico tanks out there?

You can really make that little tank pretty cool if you're choosy with what goes in it. Zoas, mushrooms, couple of inverts, and it could be a neat tank.
