| Yeah, it is definatly possible. You might even be able to squeeze a little goby in there too. I would get some live rock, and live sand. ALso a small powerhead or two for water circulation. Becausethe tank is to small a protein skimmer is unnessesary. I think your best bet for lighting would be at www.drsfosterandsmith.com under lighting. They have a mini-aqualight. With this you could even keep a few corals.

| Probably 5-10lbs of live rock and maybe 5-10lbs of live sand. That should take care of biological filtration. I would just get the powerheads to move it around. Lighting, ask the LFS about compact fluorescents. Give the model name and see if they can or will match the price on the site.
