its about time. 6.6 gallon nano build. (large update!) new additions and PICS!

so basically its a way to manage the tank params through water change to lessen the time you have to wait to stock the tank? i think i may give it a try out. ill do a change tomorrow. and would you say add a fish in a couple days?

 

Oh no, try a week and see if you can keep the ammonia in check. I am sure there are some LFS folks on this forum that use this method.

(disclaimer unless you have experience with a soft cycle, used adequate live rock, please cycle the tank fully before the addition of live stock)

 

Zoas and palys is the way to go haha.

 

okay so water changes then add a fish after a week? i was thinking something easy like a cclown so even if i mess up on occasion i wont lose a fish haha.

 

Mated pair of clowns is always good. Purple firefish are awesome too. Add fish when you have tested 0 ammonia.

 

indeed ;D

but is 6 gallons enough for either? i think 1 but a pair might be a little much. opinions?

 

I've always heard a 30 gallon minimum for one, so I personally wouldn't do either.

 

Not sure, someone more expertish on nanos should chime in.

 

for this size tank I would only try one or two very small goby like fish. A shrimp tank would be cool.

 

im not too sure on shrimp, i wil more than likely do a couple clown gobies. ;D
