    sweet dude! Any thoughts on stocking? I think a clown goby or neon goby would be about the only fish that would go in there. One or the other. I'd try to use established sand and rock if you can.

    If it were my tank I'd go with a cleaner shrimp, a yellow clown goby (maybe; after the cycle), a hermit crab and a snail. and a handful of small frags ;D

    Top off's are gonna be a PITA! lol

    As far as stocking goes, Im most likely only gonna have 3 sexy shrimps 2 hermits and a snail.

    Im using live rock out of my existing tank, and am gonna use black live sand.

    I have 2 5 gallon jugs I keep in my office. 5 of ro/di and 5 of pre-mixed salt. I also have a bathroom in my office so once a week I will use a cup and dump some water and add new water and use my ro/di for top offs

    shouldn't be too bad.
