Haven’t had a saltwater in over a year until today. I had most of the equipment already so I figured why not right? It’s a pretty basic
setup trying to stay as simple as possible. I was thinking of sticking to soft corals maybe some zooanthids and some type of leather. Thinking some sexy shrimp or some kind of other shrimp in there as well. Any suggestions on that appreciated. Equipment is as follows,

2.5 gal glass tank
Red Sea hob filter w/seachem matrix media
10w aqueon heater
Aqueon 50/50 cfl
2 lbs sand
2.5 lbs live rock

Nice start! My wife and I started a little 4.3 DeepBlue Rimless Pico tank two weeks ago. Letting it cycle at the moment and thought about making it RockNem with sexy shrimp. Had extra parts lying around so we only bought the tank and the and a Nano BioMaxx HOB filter. Looking forward to your updates!
