Here's a build i been working on last week but never had time to post it.  Still need to work on cable management for lights, figure out what heater to use and flow.  Pics were shot with camera and iphone 4 so you will notice some pics with a blue hue and purplish hue. Enjoy.

5g rimless fluval  - on sale $59. 
Par38 bulb - $60
Ikea lamp shade - $20
Live sand and rocks - Free from my 75g

Not impressed with OOB filter and lights so i will be running it til i find something better. *UPDATE* already did.

not sure exactly, i'm open to any ideas.  Seahorses, breed some anemones, something for slow feeders i guess.
