its really not hard. just top off in the morning, afternoon, and night. I keep a water-bottle full of salt water, so my top offs are easy. i do a water change once a week...when i get my sexy shrimp i'll do two changes a week. It's so small that it's not a hassle...if you make one, post a pic of it!

I have a 15 Gallon and I am really wanting a smaller tank like yours. I know I posted above
but would you recomend this system? I would like something 3 Gallons or smaller so is there a better set up or is this Red Sea tank, light and filter a great buy(does it come with anything else)? How long did it take to cycle? Do your parameters flux a lot?
I can't think of any more questions right now, just give me as much info as you can
Edit: Recomended clean up crew?
Thank you!

No, i dont use a skimmer on my 12g, but i heard the AquaC Remora nano works good.

JBJ makes a nice 3 gallon with 9w 50/50 pc ( i cant find a 7w 50/50 to fit so colors dont look as good.) The filter is also the same as the Red sea. It didnt really go through a cycle because i took everything from my 12 gallon. Other than my salinity, my peramiters dont flux. As long as you top off as often as you can, it shoud be ok. As for a clean up crew, i have 2 very small blue leged hermet crabs.

I'm just not sure if i want to spend $18 on something that small lol. other than that everything is the same... but my coral is growing quite a bit! and my zoos are turning a lovely lime green!

thats goods!
would this list work
mushrooms, xenia, gorgonian, small colony of those tiny feather dusters (duster cluster), hard tube coco worm, cactus plant, 2 cerith snails, and a pair of pygmy seahorses
and i was reading your post
and saw that you where haveing problems with the color of your tank (you couldn't find one of those blue lights that fits) would i be able to fix that problem by getting a moonlight and leeve it on 24/7 to add more blue.
check out my post to add your opion
