I recently aquired a 10 gallon and I decided I am going to swap everything over to that and then turn my 5.5 gal into a sump I decided to do this because I like my coral and everything but I also miss watching my fish and I tried the fish in the 5.5 before and it was just to tight and I love clowns so I decided I would upgrade and then later on I could add a pair of clowns with out it being such a hairy experiance. I am swaping everything over tonight after the little one goes to bed(to much of a project with extra hands) and will post pics tomarrow once everything settles back down.

You will love the 10......

It will seem like twice as much room as the 5...... :razz:
well I just finished setting the tank up and your right I love the amount of room I have (although sadie if your reading this I think I am going to end up needing more LR Before to much now not enough :) ) I cant wait till it clears up and then Ill take some pics and post them and let me know what you think.

yep I am reading this :mrgreen:
you may only need a bit more because as you add corals they usually come attached to LR or plugs which will make up for the rest :mrgreen: I agree you will love the 10 gallon
Can't wait for pictures :mrgreen:

I am going to start work on a DIY sump/refuigm this weekend Thinking up the plans for the over flow and the return pump but am having trouble trying to figure out the size for the over flow because I know that determines the GPH so I need to know that in order to make sure I get a return pump that is able to do the job.

Well just wanted to give a little brief update tank is doing great going to be adding a small fish tomarrow I think not sure what I am going to get depends on the selection the LFS has was thinking about a percula clown or a blue velet damsel or even a pair of green chromis what ever it is I want to keep it cheap and small but yet colorful and fun to watch with take some more pics when I get my new buddy.
