would i be able to put a peppermint shrimp or something like that without flouresent lighting..the other kind,indacesant(spelling)and no live rock..could it happen?
Couldn't you easily switch the gravel out and put some nice sand in there? Considering the tank size, I think it'd be relatively easy and may save you some work in the long run.

i agree. i ahd a .5 gallon nano once. i took live sand out of my display tank, along with 2 hermits and 2 astria snails. i also took small pieces of lr out of my display tanks as well, and a couple of coral frags. i put 3 ice cubes in a day to take care of heat and evaporation. of course there were homade ice cubes made out of ro/di water. good luck!
