So I'm moving to California next week, sold off my 55 gallon setup etc.... Well today I was browsing the SLO Craigslist and found a 18 gallon cube tank for $18. Well good thing my fiance lives in SLO and is going to pick it up today and store it for me til I arrive next week.

Ive decided on the following for the tank set-up

Lighting: 20" Coralife 96w quad w/1 actinic and 1 6700k bulb

Filtration: Eheim 2213 Canister Filter, 1 Marineland 660 Powehead

Heating: Hydor Theo submersible 100w

Around 12 lbs of natural ocean sand from the ocean ;)

10 lbs of florida live rock


Tank will house 10 Dwarf Hermit Crabs, 2 Camel Shrimp, 3 Firefish, 1 Gold Stripe Maroon Clown, and 1 Bubble Tip Anemone.


Let me know how this sounds to you all. I'm open for any suggestions you may have.
 
I got 15g I liked the cleaner shrimp(white line?) because he cleans the fish.. atleast he thinks he is.. my camel dosnt bother with any fish.. plus my camel picks at my bubbletip.. he dosnt do it as much now.. hoping :)
 
yeah cleaner shrimp clean fish for any parasites that may be attached to them. ive had camel shrimp before and i love how they just run around and have fun, they never bothered any of the anemone's i had before. only my gold stripe maroon clown did ;)

but i think itll be awesome to do a little biocube for once, ive had 40 and 55 gallon salt tanks before and everything went fine with them, but i want something small since im just moving, then later on i can get another big tank setup again.
