    Actually the thought crossed my mind. The anemone in my main tank split recently, I was thinking of putting one in this tank but I'm not sure the light would be enough, also it would end up stinging everything as it gets bigger in a few months.

    Not really digging the koralia nano powerhead in the vase. For this build, even though it's small I was going for a clean look. With the exception of the powerhead I think I was able to accomplish that....but I might have to do something about the powerhead. My original idea was to drill 2 holes on the vase and setup a mini closed-loop using a maxi-jet on the outside, but I was worried about breaking the glass while drilling it. Is there a conversion kit for the maxi-jets that would allow me to run it outside of the tank connecting 2 lines (input and output) ?

    I added a few coral frags from my main tank to the vase but I'm having a hard time taking sharp shots through the curved glass, the quality of the glass vase is not that great either...but here's a few.

    Here's a FTS, the glass need cleaning, need to pickup a small mag-float. I also need to find a way to get rid of the powerhead.

    The vase tank looks great. Other than making a small closed loop system with a pump on the outside of the tank I dont know how you can get rid of the PH. You maybe able to gey a few small pieces of rock and stack up around it to hide it.
