--chris-- Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Well i got a promotion recently, which also means i get a desk for the first time...and that means i need to get a tank setup for my desk! I have a 5.5 AIO i made a few months ago to test the waters of the hobby (waters got tested, and it quickly became to small). It works great, and the light is a 26 watt PC with two 50/50 bulbs. I also just got a Finnex 4 gallon with a nicer looking design and nicer looking light, but not quite as much wattage (18 watts total). I do not know what i want to keep in them yet, i really love Acans and Colestria (sp?)....but i dont know how they will handle PC lights as i use T5's on my setup at home. I don't want to keep critters other than a small cuc, so fish/shrimp are out. Any ideas or opinions? Link to comment
eddiecorrea Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Congrats on the promotion. You seem to be one of the lucky few getting them right now. I say if you have room to point the sump/fuge furthest away from you so you get to see the whole display than use the 5.5. If that made sense. Not even a cute little Clown Goby? If I were you I would just get some nice zoas and other softies. They are super easy to care for and would thrive under either lighting. Link to comment
--chris-- Posted January 2, 2009 Author Share Posted January 2, 2009 No fish because i am gone for 2-3 days every other week + weekends, i wont feel so bad if i kill some zoas...but if i kill a clown goby or a shrimp that i am attached too.... So +1 for the AIO. I have not really seen any softys i want to keep beyond the expensive zoa/paly morphs. However, i do have my eye on a nice purple hammer morph at a lfs Link to comment
