Well its been 2 years since my last tank was sold, due to work and school. Now I'm back at it again lol.

Lets see if i can manage my time between working 2 jobs and working on my car project and this newer 8.9 gallon project.

Well here are the specs of my tank.

Equipment

225 led retro fitted into the hood ( all my old systems got toasted by mh so decided to go a different route)
100w heater
sieo m820 power head (probably will have to get a 1200 gph since i love high flow)
5 blue led moonlight
light timer
digital thermometer
Salinity 1.021~
temperature 26.1 degree celcius ~ 78 degree F

Livestock:
10 lbs of live rock
1 cleaner shrimp
1 frag of gsp

Future plans: (if led are good enough)

frog spawn
dandrilphilia (favorite coral)

red mushroom
green hairy mushroom
rics

i've read that you can keep them with corals as long as you keep them fed really well

I probably wouldn't get a box fish either. it would outgrow that tank in about a week.
