I bought some new zoos today during Tranquil Scape's one day
sale. They are really pretty, and I didn't want to put them
in the main tank since my livestock tends to enjoy checking
things a little too, ah... thoroughly.
So I set up my Fry Tank, the one I've been hoping to keep
baby clownfish in one day. Since I can't get the
hatchlings, I decided to put it to use for now. I might
even get the Clown Goby out of my tank and put it in this
little pico tank.

I have a tiny heater in the tank to maintain temperature,
and a PC 50/50 bulb over the frags. The light fixture is
too large, and it is tempting to just use a 5100K refugium
bulb instead. I've not made up my mind yet.
Here is the pump, a Sen mini pump that moves 90gph. I
decided to make a small adaptation to the outlet to control
the flow in a way that should work okay.

I have one snail in the tank to keep the rock tidy. Water
changes will be the only filtration, and I don't plan to
feed the tank. I'll just use water from the reef tank. It
holds roughly 2g of water.
The cube is 9 x 9 x 9. One blue moonlight is mounted over
the tank, which I may leave on. I'll decide tonight.
