Tank number 2

[roearth]

Now my main tank is pretty much stocked I decided to set up a small nano. It's an aqua start 320 and holds about 6 gallons. Yesterday I bought and added some live rock and this morning noticed a small crab hanging out (he's in the second pic). Not sure what to stock in it as yet but maybe a small goby or some sexy shrimps so I'm open to suggestions. Here's some pics

Lookin good. I like the catalina goby for these nanos, colorful and fun to watch IMO. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+31+155&pcatid=155

Thanks I like the Catalina goby however they are a cooler water species. Not sure what corals I could get away with if I kept a cooler tank

 

[saltfan]

Nice catch I missed that..

Couple of pics of snails one of which has a pretty pink shell and a close up of the crab which doesn't seem to move

Great stuff! another small tank. Nowadays I'm paying more attention to my 5 gallon than my 80 gallon tank lol

I love that rockscape.

Thanks everyone. I'll keep updating as time goes on. I do find it fascinating to watch a small tank I guess it's a lot easier to see changes compared to the larger tank.

Now a tank like this, you would have to go through the same nitrogen cycle right? Nomatter the size?

 

[roearth]

Yes it will need to cycle same as a large tank would.the only issue with a small tank is keeping it stable.

So the first hitchhiker crab died but found another and added a Halloween hermit and strawberry snail yesterday

 

[roearth]

So I decided to change the bulb to a marine blue and added a couple of rics and zoas

Oh and these white things are growing but not sure what they are but the large one has tripled in size

Top left of your zoa pic... aiptasia! Kill it!

 

[roearth]

I know I killed a load yesterday but missed that one - actually there's 2 there!

BTW that fuzzy crab with black tips on its pincers....if you havent already removed it...GET IT OUT...its a gorilla crab. Not good.

So I've just set a trap as mr crab can go live in my larger tanks sump. Just play the wait game!
