Dont keep even one Clown Fish in a 5g... You can do 2 small fish like clown gobies, trimmas, or some of the small goby/pistol shrimp goby combos though...

Yes, they can be solid-colored and "two-toned". There aren't any artifically colored.

Wow, you really think I can keep most SPS with that? Sweeeeet. So, any particular SPS I should stay away from, though?

Hey, what types of coral can I keep in a 5.5g AGA with 36 watts of T5? The tank is 10" high. I know I can keep most softies and LPS, but what is totally ruled out besides 90% of the types of SPS out there?

Ok, just checkin to see if they'll do OK, I will probably post pics if I get it started up if I get a new camera, mine is like 6 megapixels or something only. You are right though that the water could change so I will probably make a DIY ATO for it.

Would 40 watts of T5 lighting be able to to sustain some SPS, say a monti in a 5.5g tank at the higher end of the tank?

Plant them in my garden as fertalizer.

Yea, why not go 5.5 AGA, AIO, then you can keep your firefish and there are many more options for them. Here is a thread on Nano-Reef http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/inde...owtopic=150101, not sure if its allowed to post this, but I hope it helps you out, though I wouldn't add a clown like what...

I've heard you shouldn't use fish for cycling because it pretty much kills em in the long run, so instead I would just throw a piece of raw shrimp in there for a few days to start the cycle instead of killing a damsel.

That should work fine, but you can jump start the cycle by putting a piece of raw shrimp in there for a few days.

In that small of a tank you could keep 1-2 pom pom crabs, 3 sexy shrimp, and some coral, thats it pretty much besides CUC.

Depends on the size and the personality of the individual shrimp. Mines likes to grab hermits, kill em and use the shells as a barrier in front of its cave.

Uhh, as in coral? Probably shrooms, zoas, rics, LPS, if I get the T5, maybe a clam? I've heard it can be done.. I'm gettin a standard, not a long I don't think, I don't have it yet and I didn't know it would go off the sides of the tank, so it looks like the 18" is the only way to get anyway.

I'm not sure here it is {EDIT LINKS - out of respect to the owner and operator of SWF, please do not post links to competitors. Post the name of the item, thanks }
