    It may be a possibility :-/ If you did a Maxi Mini tank I would put either a group of Sexy Shrimp or Anemone Crabs.

    yeah that would be a possibility. right now im just thinking of all the possibilities before i really commit to it. what are some other fish that would fit in this? any other small gobies or blennies? i know for a small tank like this i am pretty much stuck with clowns, gobies, and blennies :/ but i know there are plenty of awesome ones :D

    also if i were to upgrade the lights what would be the best way to do that? i know they sell small led strips but do they have ones that i can keep hidden in the fixture to keep it looking sleek while still giving out alot of light? enough for maybe some lps? probably no sps.

    got some more pics of the tank, my dslr is shot so i screwed with the settings on my crappy phone camera (nokia lumia 920) and got some better shots but nothing special.

    these pictures show more accurately the actual look of the led's on the tank.

    eBay :D

    i wanted something unique, i was 2 seconds away from ordering a fluval spec v but then i ran into this for nearly $20 less. i looked around for it online and didnt find much so i figured i would just give it a shot and so far i am very impressed. the filtration system is a little bit cheap but other than that it seems to be pretty top quality.

    right now the water seems to be getting a little cloudy, any ideas as to what may be causing that? it was super clear this morning. :confused:

    Perhaps a bacteria bloom, die off from the new live rock.

    You are going to need much more circulation for gas exchange.

    ^^

    im leaning towards this, there was alot of die off on the rocks because they arrived when it was quite cold. so there was a bit more die off than average.
