Working on starting my second tank - pico reef

[Eli-reefer]

I have a 13.5 that's been running for a year, now I'm starting up a 5-gal pico reef.
No solid plans on stocking it yet, would love any input. Not planning on adding a fish, just as much diversity in coral/ inverts as I can.

Planning to add a sand bed, and use water, live rock, and filter media from the existing tank to get it started right up.

Hoping to take more advantage of the coral farms near me. The tank will be going on my desk so I can watch it while I do grad school work!

Hello & Welcome

I'd still recommend a small nano fish, great source of nitrates for your corals! There are some small goby options you might enjoy.

It's definitely something I'm still considering, I appreciate the input! :)

Some rock flower anemones to host a half dozen sexy shrimp would be cool.
