    OK, so I have this spare 55g and crappy T5 light hanging around. Was thinking a cichlid tank with alot of plants and little filtration. But this diverts attention from the reef, but, its a cool little addition to it as well. hmmmm

    I like planted tanks, so I won't talk you out of that. I can't stand Cichlids though.
