If you need a tank to hold you over till you get your main tank......you must be a reef addict

It should go nicely Remora. I have a small 2.5 planted tank that's been doing very well for some time now. I only have a regular incandescent bulb over it. There's java fern, anubias nana and some cryptocyrene plants in it. In a tank that small you don't want things to grow too fast or you'd be trimming every other day ! It has one of those micro HOB filters on it and a small glass heater I picked up at Walmart that keeps the temp around 79-80.

Setting it up aught to give you something to do while you wait for that 34....

Do post some pics when it's all together !
