    A miniature size tahitian super model!!!

    Oh... wait.. you probably want something not from my imagination, right?

    How about seahorses or pipe fish. It looks like glass, right? Otherwise you could go on a friendly competition with reefmonkey's mantis tank!!

    Do you want corals in there as well?

    EDIT: Nevermind about seahorses and pipefish... the tank has to be pretty old before you add them, right?

    i could just throw a ton of macro algae in there from my overgrown fuge and have enough pods in there for them to live... doesnt necessarily have to be "old"
    also, there wont be much of a cycle... ill "borrow" some rocks and water from my reef tank

    That might be why he wants you to put them in a 10G tank and overload it with SPS ::):p

    alright so lets start from the bottom up:
    1. bare bottom or sand bed?
    2. what type of filtration? (berlin only or a HOB also)
    3. Im thinking some sick 20k LED lighting and a select few of my corals that really pop under 465nm ;)... agreed?
