Hello everyone! I set up a 2 gallon Non-Photosynthetic tank. Its been set up for a little while. Its got 2 inches of sand, several pieces of LR in there, Sun corals, a small power head with adjustable flow. There is no light on it. I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow.

how fun! Maybe you should put in a chile coral and a black sun coral too! Wouldn't it be neat if it grows into 2 gallons of sun coral?! Keep us posted!
 
Thanks! Yeah, I'm going to put Carnation corals, chile corals, diff sun corals, electric flame scallop, and some gorgonians. :D
 
you're going to be doing a loooot of water changes with all those feedings :P
but keep us updated!!!
 
Sorry to hear that. If you don't mind, why? What worked and can be used by others in future, what didn't work.
You see, I'm digging web for possibility to keep unusual animals in small tank. My best case was 3/4g (3L) sun coral pico, that lived on water changes after each feeding. Used matured water from 6g tank near it.
6g cube worked well for gorgonians and chili, only had to have additional filtration in the sump.

Share your knowledge, will appreciate that very much.
Many people started, but didn't tell what not worked or what troubles were encountered.
Not insisting, but curious. Your choice :)
