    Hey guys I am new to both the website and reefing...
    I have been doing LOTS of research and my friend who is a hobiest has been helping me. My parents would only let me have a nano tank for my first tank because they said they didnt want to start big....I tried explaining that they are much harder but whatever...

    It has been up and running for about 3 months and i have had 3 red leg hermits and 10 snails in there for about a month.

    ALL levels have been perfect and i have been on top of checking my tank.

    I just got a cleaner shrimp 2 weeks ago...he is the life of the tank so far...

    BUT now i want to start adding A fish and some corals


    It is a 6 gallon nano with about 5lbs of live rock making a have/tunnel system

    any ideas for fish and corals

    I was thinking one fire fish or two small gobies???

    and zoanthids and mushroom

    not all at once of course ..... but overall any other ideas please let me know?!?! :)

    I think you're dead on personally, except for 2 gobies, most are territorial, I'd start with 1 fish and see how the tank responds.
