5.5 mini reef !!!!

ok it is well cycled and i am not sure what im going to put in it a was thinking:
1 blue neon goby
1 yellow neon goby
3 nassarias snails
2 hermit crabs
i also have 6 lbs of live sand ans about 10-12 lbs of LR. other ideas are welcome.!.! also all you 5.5 gallon owners post pics. plz. and i have a 125 gallon reef and and going to have lots of frags. and you might be thinking wow thats a large stock list but i think i got it covered- i have a protien skimmer rated for 15 gallons and an aqua clear filter rated for up to 30 gallons. does this sound ok. Als as i said before plz post pics of you own 5.5 or tiny tank.
Also Does anyone know where to get a 16 inch power compact???

Now that's my kind of a tank. I'd just hang an aquaclear powerfilter off the back and grow macro algae in there. I wouldn't even bother with the skimmer.

+1 on not using the protein skimmer. You'll take out all the good stuff. The aquaclear will be enough.
Also +1 on the macroalgae in that thing. In this hobby natural is better. Just keep up on the water changes and you'll be golden.

That was my old 5.5 I really liked it. You could see the clown goby's personality better.
