Had a 5.5 gallon sitting around, so why not.

Equipment

Standard 5.5 gallon tank
DIY Internal Overflow and media rack (gonna run purigen and filter floss)
Rio 600
12" Coralife 36W PC fixture (on its way)
5 lbs dry rock; 1 lb live rock to seed it
6 pounds of aragonite

Anyways here are my most recent pictures. Just put water in it so it looks like milk. More pictures to come when it clears up. Also these are cell phone pics so they are awful but I didn't want to break out my big camera. I will later.

I thought I had rinsed my sand well enough, but I have spent yesterday and today stirring the sand up with a turkey baster trying to get the fine stuff out of the water. I think I have gone through three pounds of filter floss lol
 
I will post a thread In another section, but... My light came In and doesn't work, so im thinking about making a diy led for it. I am thinking probably 8 or 9 leds with a 5:3 or 5:4 royal blue to cool white ratio. All I need is a driver, the leds, the wiring, thermal adhesive, and the heatsink? Will I need any lenses? Any help is appreciated.
