    Coralline, I may look at getting some TINY ones at the next swap we do. or if I do an order from Live Aquaria or Pacific East Aquaculture. I should now have enough light for anything I darn well want. I did turn the whites down a bit. Hopefully I can get a Par meter in soon to see where I am light wize. I can already tell it feels WAY brighter than my 180

    so, i guess I didnt mention that there are a few zoas that I "rescued" from my big tank. these were lost or stolen by my Urchin. I got lucky and found some in the middle of an acro, and others under another frag, so if they look a little worse for wear, they are.

    btw, i have an urchin for sale.

    Also, here is a better photo of the tank on the wood stand.

    Looking great! But in a 5 gallon, especially one that is taller than it is wide/long, don't go with clowns.

    Yeah. It's a tough call. Still not finalized. I want a fish that will be put in water column as opposed to a Goby in the sand.

    Your best bet is a species of tiny dartfish, but they are hard to find and can be hard to keep. A small rockdweller like a neon or similar will always be out, and may go into the water column occasionally....
