Need ideas

[aggie05]

Well I bought new lighting for my 20 finally so I am going to have a 2x32 watt pc hood sitting around. I also just happen to have an empty 5.5 gallon AGA sitting here. Now, i am going to put an internal sump in the tank along with a closed loop but other than that I have no idea what I would do with it. So with that lighting what do yall suggest. I already have a 20 long softy tank and a 2.5 Xenia garden. Any thoughts

I'm confused?? you putting an internal sump in a 5.5 gallon tank?? Forgive me but I have a headache today and can't figure out what you are asking for suggestions on ....

Suggestions on what to stock the tank with given the lighting. The internal sump will be a sheet of acrylic running the length of the back wall. It will be wide enough for a PH to fit in and will hold the PH, heater, and a bit of macro and probably some sand as well because I'm thinking about going bare bottom.
The depth of the tank from front to back after the sump is put in will be the same as the 2.5 I have now, I will just have more heighth and length to work with.

All this with a 2X 32 Watt PC bulb???

Yeah, why? Too much? Its not that much light. The light will be over the entire tank, including the sump area because the hood is the same dimensions as the tank itself.

No I don't think it's too much lighting. Just heat issues maybe.

I'd do something differnt like a long slipper coral or something laying out front ... or maybe a tank with a central focal point on a clam .... something unusual ... hth.... I have been thinking about a 10 gallon angler fish nano .... but the 10 would get too small too fast I think!

clams would be nice. maybe some cool shrooms?
