hi i have a 12g nano dx, i replaced the factory pump with a mini-jet 606 the factory one keeps the tank very warm, and is rather noisy. then i added a small 146gph inside the tank. i have had mine for about 2 months, it cycled in only two weeks i used live rock instead of a fish. i kept the lights off until the tank had fully cycled and i did not get a algae bloom until i added the cleanup crew and started leaving the lights on for 12 hours. but the clean up crew soon took care of it, 10 blue leg hermits, 5 scarlet hermits, 10 turbo snails and 5 astrea snails, a emerald crab and 2 peppermint shrimp.
after two weeks i added two small tomato clowns. just do weekly water changes of 1 or 2 gallons u will be alright.
