    Hello everyone,
    This is my 5 gallon tank it’s currently been running for about a month now. It’s been cycling with a crab. My wife and I just added our first fish (tomato clown) after testing the water on Sat. So far so good he's been eating and swimming around like crazy! Eventually we want to add some soft corals. What do you think I can grow with 2 50/50 coral life screw on bulbs..I’m rather new at this so any help would be appreciated:)

    Hello and welcome to 3reef.

    With that set up you should be able to grow zoas, gsp, xenias, most softies

    As a matter a fact I have some gsp that I can frag up for you.

    Welcome to 3reef :) Nice tank! I like the scape. Sorry to tell you this, but the Clownfish will have to be moved out eventually. You could always get a small Goby, though. You should be able to grow softies with your current lighting.

    Welcome to 3reef! With a 5 gal, you a very limited to what you can stock it with. You are really limited to only one fish IMO, and it should probably be a small goby. Maybe do a smaller watchman goby (orange spotted?) and a pistol shrimp. Add a few softies, and you should have a nice little tank!
