Does anyone have a 2 gallon AIO they want to sell. I would prefer an Aqueon evolve 2. I wanted to keep it small, it’s for my desk at work. I’m looking for something with similar dimensions to the evolve 2g. The fluval spec 3 is a little tall & most aio’s Are 3 gallons or higher. Appreciate your help. Regards,

So, two actenics and two 150 watt halides will work???? I heard there are "kits" out there for securing these on the hood. Is this recomended? Does this sort of thing even exist? The lighting is really my only hang up at this point. I think I will go with 2 actinecs and 2 150 watt halides but I need to know how to safely secure them to my hood. Thanks again for the help.

Thanks everyone for the helpful tips. I'm sure they have saved me from some costly mistakes. I will be sure and take some pictures during the build. I heard there are "kits" out there for lighting. I need two actinic and two halide kits. Any direction here would be appreciated. Sounds like a submersible pump is the best best. Thanks again for the help.

So, I have this 55 gallon aquarium with the tank, stand and hood. Its an acrylic tank that the previous owner used for fresh water. I also have a 10 gallon tank I was thinking of turning into a sump/refugium. I was going to drill three holes in the aquarium, one for the overflow and two more for the return. For lighting, I was thinking of two actinic and two halides, maybe 250 watts each. I wanted to put this together myself and secure it to the top of the canopy. (Need some suggestions here) Its going to be a reef tank with some fish. I would like to have lps as well as SPS/Hard coral. I have a basic idea of what I need in terms of equipment but any direction from you would be appreciated. (what type of pump, how to drill the tank, how to put together the sump, etc) Thanks, Steven
