    I'm curious if anyone has seen a smaller tank than a 1/3 gallon.

    We set this one up over a year ago not expecting much, and it's still going strong.

    Lighting is a little twin diode Reefbrite and filtration is supplied by a little HOB filter. Livestock is limited to coral to avoid overfeeding.

    Here's a couple of pictures from when we first put it together in 2012.

    very cool! I don't believe I've ever seen or heard of anything smaller than that. Can you give a list of the corals that you have in it?

    I think it's got a mushroom, zoas, little hammer, pipe organ and some gsp.

    Definitely cool. I have seen some small vase tanks, but that is the smallest "tank shaped" tank I have seen. How do you manage water loss? I assume temp is controlled by room temp.
