Starting a small 5.5 and looking to keep it some what simple. The plan is to keep acans and mushrooms, a tailspot blenny and a couple of Pom Pom crabs. Filter will be seachem tidal 35 when they release it, but for now it’s a deepblue nano. I keep debating on a light, but an ai prime seems like a good idea. Other lighting option include reef brite, fluval nano or possibly a kessil. If you have any experience with the other lighting option please weigh in. So I know picture are the most important part of this so I’ll start with a custom lid and will follow as the build progresses.

Cool lid design! :) I would opt for a Kessil A80 or A160 with the spectral controller if you're not using an aquarium controller of any type.

No controllers on this setup, I thought about the tunze rgb light, but I would only utilize the light portion. Trying to keep it simple.
