I have one of these sitting in my closet. What are you going to use for filtration and flow? What about these fixtures:

 

Mini Light

Mini Sun

Azoo Neo-Light

 

What do you think would work best? I am leaning towards Azoo, but if the Mini Sun would work that would be even better since it is half the price.

I think im taking the trim off it looks realy cool without it

Im useing a powerhead from a in tank filter thing that has a adjustment knob so i can tone it down or up.

I wasnt planing on have filtration acctuly i might do a aquaclear 10 though and turn it into a mini fuge

but not still postitive on lighting need more help on that if i can get it soon i can buy everything toommorow.
