So I saw this little guy yesterday when I picked up dog food at petco. Thought about it and finally picked it up this morning.

Got it to my work and got it opened. Neat little set up if I do say so myself. For equipment I added a Catalina 50watt titanium heater.

So I added sand from one of the fish tanks and a single piece of live rock. Few hours after it was running I tossed in some small coral frags including:
Green star polyp
Green wagon wheels
Kenya tree
Blue chalice
Yellow polyps
2 blue mushrooms

Also added 3 hermit crabs

Looks good.. I've thought about something like this. A Hippo Tank would do the job :) just kidding.
 
Yea I was thinking that or a purple. Lol. I've currently have these option since it's what I have at work

1. Hi fin goby and pistol combo (I'm worried he would dig way to much.)
2. Sexy shrimp
3. Lawn mower blenny
4. Royal gramma
5. Indigo dotty back (one I'm leaning towards)

Any other ideas ?
 
I'm interested in seeing how you like this tank. I just picked up the 4 recently.
 
So far everyone that has walked into the store has liked it. Many have asked if I'd sell something like this. I added a piece of horn coral and a flame back angel

Think I'll just let it run for a while now. See how everything does
 
Decided to take the angel out since these little guys came in today.

2 spot signal goby

Very nice! Are you going to continue using the stock light? I just picked one up and am debating on the light (for zoas and mushrooms), if you are having success, then I will stay with stock. Thanks
 
Looks great

Thank you.

I think I'll stick with the stock light for now. Things seem to be doing good but then again I've only had it running for a few days. I'll keep things updated every few days.
