Well pulled the plug and did a pico build, tank is a 1 1/2 gallon, everything came from main system except inhabitant. Inhabitants right now include a peppermint shrimp and a small arrow crab, did move some amphipods from sump as well. Going to probably switch to a pistol shrimp and goby if LFS get find their pistol shrimp. Thoughts?

Nice
 
Very nice. I really like your setup. Goby/ pistol shrimp will look awesome as well!
 
I have decided to go alittle different route as the 1 1/2 gallon just seemed to small for what I was planning on. This tank i now going to have a mini-maxi anemone and hoping 2 sexy shrimp, maybe a clown goby.

Think I am going to remove most of the chateo as well to clean it up some.

Now the second part of this is a new/used 5 gallon AIO, this will house the diamond goby, clowns, firefish, clowwn goby, and still need to get the pistol shrimp.

Any updates?
 
Not a lot new, having a hard time getting the last of the livestock I want but other than that thing are going good, I did add a feather duster to the 5 gallon. Parameters have been looking good. Here are a few pictures hope you enjoy.
