    My name is Anthony from San Diego and I currently have a 6 gallon EDGE reef tank with T5 lighting. It contains:
    Coral:
    pulsing zania
    candy cane
    birds nest
    kenya
    "shelf like" Coral (forgot)
    and a purple "birds nest like" coral (again:)
    as well as some zoos

    Live stock:
    pom pom
    spotted goby
    snails
    hermits
    and soon to have cleaner shrimp

    I have had a lot of good luck with it so far, my goby is eating frozen food and alive and well as well as everything else.
    I started with an 18T freshwater, then got the edge for free and have been fraging from my friends 55g but am ready to upgrade to the 18T... before i do tho I am determined to build a good sized sump and get the led lighting for I want it to be a reef tank. once established and stocked it will stay that way for years to come for I plan on moving around a bit in the next ten years and dont want the headache of a big tank nor the damage to the wallet. I do have a few questions tho...
    A) where can i have holes drilled in the 18T (Glass) for the over flow and the return holes? whats a good size?
    B) what are good sump designs? is there any way to run two one on top of the other do to inadequate space?
    thank you for reading!
