    anemone. DEFINATELY not something you should get...not in a 3g and probably not in a 55g.

    Before you get an anemone you need to wait until your tank is up and stable for 1 year before even considering one

    well...there is little filters designed for that size tank. I cant imagine finding a power head that will fit that. I would just use the filter and keep stock down

    A Koralia Nano _MIGHT_ not be too big for a 3g tank.

    As per a previous post about a clown in a 3g tank, I will say I am not a fan of anyone keeping a 3g tank until they're certain they know what they're doing and what it takes to keep a pico tank alive. Still, I think they can be useful for a very small species tank and/or a tiny coral tank. They're also useful for fry tanks, if you're breeding fish....

    Beyond that I wouldn't even attempt anything smaller than a 10g tank myself. I have one I am thinking of setting up as a coral/invert tank, but wouldn't put a fish in it.
