Our 9 year old has his heart set on a pair of "Ghost Clowns" as he calls the platinum or wyoming whites, so I picked up an 8 gallon nano from someone on KSL. It had a little rock in it, I left the sand because I wouldn't even haul it home, it was half good sand and half Utah sand, and we know my feeling on Utah sand!!!
I put some washed sand that I got from Shawn and had sitting in my frag system to stay wet, and I added one huge piece of live rock that used to have a ton of tube macro algea, but when we put our Sea Hare "Dewayne the Rock Johnson" in our tank he liked the taste so he almost decimated the rock so I pulled it out of my display. I also used about 3 gallons of water from my display tank to seed it.
For now it is sitting and cycling. Per Bob's suggestion the center chamber in the back I put full of Cheato and macro algea to filter and to help with the balance in the tank.
Here are the pics of the tank sitting on my son's desk. The marineland cheap LED I had so that is what I used.
