And I used to think 55 gallon saltwater tanks were small O.O

Very nice tank, though.

just 3 leds and the clam is ok? what color are the stars? ever have sps live under led?

I have 2 blues and one white. Doesn't really matter what the color the stars are, they all put out the same amount of wattage. Keep in mind this is only a 2.5 gallon tank. The clam is only 3-4" below the water. It is probably the happiest thing in there. You definitely can keep SPS, the problem with that is in a small thank, it is hard to keep the parameters steady enough for SPS to thrive.

Hey taichi, how is it that you have cooler corals in 2 and a half gallons then I do in my 180 beast. I am truly envious. It looks absolutely awesome. What is the upkeep on something like that. Is it a half gallon water change daily, weekly, or how frequent. Love the build all together. You rock.

Thanks,
I don't do much but weekly water change from my larger tank. I change roughly 3-4 cups of water weekly. Other than that it is just daily top off, but I have a little aqualifter on a timer hooked to a small container with one gallon of water for automation. No supplements or dosing. I have to say though, the LPS is doing great in there. Might be because the water is alot dirtier than the rest of my tanks.
