Along with the 10gal, I have this 8gal. Biorb that I converted for saltwater by removing the sponge filter/bubble tube contraption and added a powerhead. I would love to have a bluer LED bulb but this one was cheap and seems to work just fine at keeping things happy (if not as pretty as they can be). The tank has been set up since January '13 so almost 1 year old! Added a cool white spotted anemone last week and and today she's gravid, so she seems to be comfortable with her maxis. Plan on adding a trio of sexy shrimp at some point! :)

Equipment:
8gal Biorb
15w PAR 38 6000k LED bulb
Hydor THEO 50w heater
Maxijet 900

Livestock:
Maxi nems
Majano nems
Palys
Star polyps
Ricordea
Emerald crab
White spotted anemone shrimp
