My fist go at a reef aquarium It's a sealed 1 gallon cookie jar from wall mart.

Set up

Rio pump

Sump with a filter charcoal and chaeto and some rubble

around 2 lbs of live rock

x2 royal blue led's 1 ocw led

 

Life (so far)

Hitchhiker Zoa

Hitchhiker mushroom

some other coral hitchhiker (not sure what it is its growing though)

Pulsing xenia

2 small blue legged hermit crabs

 

So far I am happy with the set up the flow might be a bit high and there is a good amount of algae that came in on my live rock that I haven't been able to get off but otherwise It seems like it is doing well!

Ya sorry It's not glued shut or anything I open it for testing the water water changes etc its "sealed" to prevent evaporation I can still get into it should have been more specific.

Ha thought I was the only one who did this. I drilled two holes in the top of mine for an air tube and breather to provide flow and air. The water does need to be able to breathe from my understanding. I still need to get a light and cycle the tank. It's a surprisingly nice container for being from walmart.
