thanks to everyone that has offered to help me out. So although I like the pico tanks that you can buy at the store, I cant leave it at that. I mean I spent money on an all in one biocube and ended up changeing everything on it. So I am going to do the same thing here. I already have 2 one gallon desk top acrylic tanks that I am going to use. I want to hook both of them together and have one as the main tank and the other as a refugium. Yes refugium on a 1 gallon tank. I know some are thinking why put one on a tank this size. Well, I like the macro algae and live rock concept. Below is my idea that I drew up on the paint program. I will be taking live rock rubble, sand, water, macro algae, polyp/zoas, and mushrooms from the tank that my brother is holding. I am thining about putting a cleaner shrimp and clown goby in the tank as well. Another thing that I have been thinking about is putting this tank in the garage for my own enjoyment. I know it will get to hot out there but I am going to be getting one of those dorm room refrigerators and was thinking about drilling holes in the top to plump me in a home made chiller/beer chiller. I know this seems like a lot but i hope it all works out. Thanks again for everything.
