    I have some ideas about what to do with nano because I might get a 30 gallon so here it is.

    Considering each coral has its own needs, what equipment do you have on your tank?

    Anemones would be out of the question for a 6 gallon imo. so would any sps, but thats just me.(if you can keep params stable then go for it.) I would do a ric/zoa garden, perhaps with a few lps.

    it depends on your lighitng, and how long the tank has been up for. if its established i dont see whats wrong with maybe a maxi-mini, your favorite acropora, favorite LPS then the rest zoas and rics.

    the problem is that LPS like "dirty" water and SPS likes "clean" water. if you want SPS or a nem then invest on an ATO with a doser.
