What supplies do you have and what supplies will you be needing? Whats your experience with the hobby?

What are you wanting to support in this micro tank (plants/fish/inverts)? Are you wanting filtration?
I got a 2.5 gal i setup with a baby sunfish, 1 inch crayfish, and plants + clay/sand substrate, a clamp on light with a spiral bulb, and a cheap submersed tiny little filter from Petsmart (coolest little filter i've ever seen). I set the filtration for low and have the outflow jets angled downward as to not disturb the surface...I think this tank would be looking awesome right now if I didn't steal the lamp to use outdoors all the time!

EDIT: I just noticed you have a picture linked you were referring to - It is not appearing for me :(
EDIT: I see the picture's link is talking about reefs - disregard my post altogether lols!
