Let there be life!

Are you playing it safe with softies or are you going to try for SPS?

I prefer softies to begin with, there is often too much flow in my main tank for them and I can't really see them in the shadows. A low light tank, when I can add additional light when I want to look at them seams ideal.

I prefer a mixed tank for my rebuild. That is, Zoanthids, LPS, and a handful of SPS. My new tank is about 6 months old and so far I have had success with a Montipora, Acropora, Hammer, Torch, Mushrooms, and Zoanthids. Hopefully things continue to go well as I add a few more over the fall and winter. I'd like to add a Birds nest, wellsophyllia, blasto, candy cane, some zoos, and lastly a table Acro.

We're in the drink tank challenge section, tanks for the challenge are 3g or less.
SPS is a no go.
LPS would be challenging.

Just to clarify, the rules say 2.5 gallons.
