Here is mine. It has been running for 2 months now with a small blue damsel and 3 blue leg hermit crabs. I am about to move up to a 10 gallon, and transfer everything to it. For now, I still like my 2.5 .

I had a 10 gallon whisper filter on it, and a 15 watt zoomed 50/50. I just moved it all to a 10 gallon and added another 10 gallon filter. I am in the process of building a hood and am going to go with another 15 watt light. And then start adding corals

Acually the little damsel is not bad at all. I wouldn't put more in there, but from what I understand a little gobie would be fine also. I just do a water change about once a week. The water was in good condition. Like I said, I just moved everything over to a 10 gallon. And I got a little clown. I am going to get another, and some sort of anemone for them to use as a host.

Main filtration will be the live rock......Any hob filter is used mainly for mechanical filtration on occasion or to provide circulation without the need of a powerhead adding more heat to an already small tank......The Aqua Clear line of hob filters are great for adding on these picos since they add more water volumn and also provide a place to put a heater and small skimmer on the AC70 and 110 models at least.....2.5 gal is a PICO tank not a NANO
