    I do like the yellow clown goby, however I think they mostly eat live foods. I'm looking for something that would eat frozen mysis, pillets, flake. I'm also considering the yellow watchman goby, maybe even paired with a shrimp....and yes, have to add a fish or it's a no build :)

    It would be plumbed into a system that has ~110 gallon water volume so other than space I'm not worried about parms.

    As I look more into this little project, even 1 5xLED screw in bulb would allow me to go with a bigger glass jug/vase, I'm thinking of going up to maybe 3-4 gallons if I could find a suitable container. I already have most of the corals to add that I will be fragging from my main display, I just need the right glass bowl, get it drilled for the overflow and get some dry fiji rock to build a structure and some LS.

    I'm thinking of picking up a few pieces of dry rock from MarcoRocks. Have any of you guys used this rock before?

    I'm thinking I just have to throw a few pieces in my fuge for a few weeks, shouldn't cause any type of cycle in my main system....is this a good assumption??

    why not just buy a small tank like a 5g.

    shouldn't hurt your tank.

    I could easily buy a 5g tank, however I'm trying to do something different/unique that's why I'm looking for a cool glass jug/vase.

    mount the corals upside down then put the light under the tank, that would be unique. so they grow down. ;D

    Edited...

    The LED light is on order....the pico vase is back on. Today I came across a good size glass vase that would hold 4-5 gallons, that plumbed into my existing system (~110g volume) should be easy to care for. I'm looking forward to this little winter project.
