Midget Nano

[maverick005]

i have about 2.5 weeks left on my cycle for my 3 gallon. i wanted to do coral, but this is my first tank so i think that would be a bad idea...
i have 5lbs of LR and about 8lbs of LS
about a dozen feather dusters
3-4 bristle worms
and i have two of the little dudes that have 2 translucent tentacles, i assume they are cleaners of some sort.
anyway i was begginng to think about what to put in mine as well, what other small fish are there that dont need a lot of swimming room besides perculas? i would like to have one small (and i stress small) fish and some crabs and snails and a few small shrimp too...
any input would be greatly appreciated
thanks

you could buy one of those mini filters used for those .75 gal nanos made by red sea take the sponge out put a little piece of lr and maybe some ls in there, and you got a super-mini fuge

You might want to start a whole new thread.

Well, things are gonna have to get started a little late. I was trying out a different kind of sand instead of calcium carbonate. I tried using calcium sufate sand (gypsum). It didn't work, the calcium precipitated out and the levels are now so hi that I don't have the patience to test it. I stopped at 1200 on my calcium test and still going. So, I am gonna have to ditch the sand and restart the cycle.
However overanalyzer, I still have not decided on what I want to put in it.

Sexy shrimp(s)
I'm still searching for "Aggressive snails" something cool.
Maybe a choco star since I can't have one in my reef.
Anyways, I'm very confused as to where this litte tank is going now, lol.
