    The IQ5 could work. Fluval makes the chi, which is 5 gallons. I was looking at it in a store a few weeks ago, but the way the filter, light is set up is odd :-/ might work though...

    I meant this: Fluval 2 Gallon Spec Desktop Glass Nano Aqauarium - 10510-FLUVAL#
    It really holds more like 3.5-4 gallons. My LFS has tiny little newborn clowns in there. You will have to change the fixture though as it is warm white LEDs and no blue.:-/

    Yeah, not sure what kind of corals you'd be able to keep not directly under that weird box thing (is that where the filtration is housed?) You would have to join 4 1.1"X9" heatsinks joined in a rectangle and 12 LEDs, 6 blue, 6 white to retrofit around that box.

    Yeah the floating box thing is the filtration, I just took mine out and threw on a aquaclear 70 and a boostled par 30.

    its going to be more for looks, if any fish they will probably be clown or panda gobies. also with the par 30 i was looking at some other guys and he has two that are mounted in side the little canopy thingy....
