I was watching this thread closely. I have a one gallon milk jug laying around. I was thinking a 400w M.H. and a Red Sea 300 gph skimmer. I figure I can keep a Sohal and like 10# of LR. I figure the tuna can sump/refugium will suffice for filtration. Sorry, sarcasm. I honestly cannot see putting ten cents into a 2.5 gal SW tank. I'm with the poster who said throw a betta in it and call it a day.
I was thinking more along a 250w MH I didn't want to overkill it, an octo skimmer, 2 pomacanthus imperators and maybe 8 1/4 lbs of LR. I'm not too sure about what sump I want to use, an oceanic perhaps...JK

NO WAY!! You could throw a 2.5 gallon together for under 100 bucks easily...Thats like a weeks worth of work for a lifetime of enjoyment... i just bought a 5.5 with everything (lr, ls, pc light, heater, filter, thermometer) for 65 bucks (Craigslist is the way to go!!)... Throw 3 sexy shrimp in there and add an array of softies, rics, and zoanthids and ta-da!!! a beauitful little nano you get to look at and get enjoyment from every time you sit at your desk... and stay away from bettas they are the most booring fish of all time and most people dont take adequate care of them to begin with... they think that a little gallon bowl a plant no heater and no water changes is enough to keep these fish healthy and happy... its not!
Sorry i used to work at Petsmart and hated selling bettas to people because i knew that probally 80-85% of them would not be taken care of properly
I've had 3 bettas in 10 years and they all lived a long happy life with the water changes and keeping an eye on their tank itself. I love bettas, but I understand how there's many people just like you described it and it really sucks

Do nothing but Zoas in it, i plan on gettin a 3g JBJ pico soon with the Nano tuners LED light mod. With the MOdded lights it will be like having a 70W MH over tank
I want to make it a zoa dominant and maybe one or 2 rics, but mostly zoas. Especially a kind of zoa that I'm waiting for somone to have theirs grow a little more and start fragging them
Hope them hornets are doing well!!!
