    That sounds correct to me, but you better follow up with some LED-wielding hobbyists to save a few dollars prior to starting.

    I bet your future tanks will benefit from your past experience as well as your current research. What are you studying in college? Got a goal yet?

    I'm leaning more towards gobies & goby relatives such as the firefishes. I have had success in the past getting mandarin's to eat prepared frozen foods, although I never got that trick of the mandarin diner down, so I am thinking of adventuring towards mandarins later in the life of the tank so it has time to accumulate a good micro-fauna population and then a good dose of Reef-Nutrition's pod mixtures. Other than those types I am not really familiar with any more types of more "exotic" fish suited to a nano. In all honesty I was leaning towards Belonepterygion fasciolatum, the red finned/high finned basslett. They are a stunning fish, both the black and red/brown variants (which are thought to be the species' male and female dimorphism) although cryptic, I would probably enjoy journaling the fish's behavior, etc.

    And I came up with the lego idea just imagining what it would feel like to look at a mantis if you were the size of a lego man. Hehe. And beyond the whole nostalgia idea, not only do legos have hinges built right in to some pieces but the plastics themselves are suited to being close to an aquarium. the plastic is extremely stable and inert, if it wasn't it wouldnt be a kids toy. But yes I will have a Lego star trooper or Indiana Jones standing in front of the tank pointing fearfully at the mantis's burrow. XD

    If you weren't posting this today, I'd almost think there was an April Fools joke pending. I've never seen anyone use Legos for their tanks before, so this should be interesting, to say the least. You may need to put a few Lego people in there to make it work.

    For the larger tank, what kind of fish do you prefer? Firefish? Dwarf Angels? Gobies? Coral-wise, I'd think LPS would be nice with an anemone as the show piece. Anything that is slow growing so they don't take over your tank.
