Ok, so I've added yet another tank. Albeit small, but another tank none the less. I had a $25 Fish Gallery gift card that I won in the TOTM program in April. I never got around to using it and no one would buy it off me so I just said screw it and I bought the first thing that sparked any interest that wouldn't require me to drop a lot of extra dough. I originally wanted to just buy a ton of frag plugs, but the guys up at FG just decided to ruin my plan by giving me a bunch for free :mad: (kidding of course). So, as I meandered around their store I stumbled across their display pico tanks. My wife thought it was "cute" so I got it for her. This is actually a cool little tank. I got it home, opened it all up, and went to work on it. I took some live rock out of my refugium and a couple of scoops of black sand from an established tank, and got it up and running. The next day, throwing caution to the wind, I threw several small zoa frags into the mix. Seeing as how the sand and rock were both established and cycled, I knew it wouldn't be a problem. Anyways...zoas opened immediately almost and things look great. I snapped off a few photos and I'll upload them later. But I just wanted to share. I might even throw in a fish or some inverts soon. If I take that route, I'll upgrade the stock filter to a TAAM Rio Nano Skimmer to boost filtration. For livestock, I'm thinking clown goby, or some other type of goby. Again, something small but attractive.

Get the ORA tiger goby....or small green banded goby.

IMO those clown gobies are overrated.
