So the other day I decided to buy a 5 gallon rimless tank (for $10!!!) and i got some rock, water and sand from my much larger tank so it's pretty much good to go, just wanna let it run with the new filter for a few days atleast... I've decided to easy corals only and a few inverts. But I had a few other questions.

-what light would you recommend for soft corals, zoas, maybe a frogspawn... Generally easy to keep corals
-what are some colorful/less common fish options
-I have a HOB filter, what should I run in it? Carbon? GFO?
-do I need a small power head? If so, what one would you recommend?

Here's a picture of the tank

Thanks!, I was thinking about running some Purigen and maybe gfo in the filter, but maybe a simpler setup is better
