new tank.... same old steps

[helplesschild3]

i order my fish online, and have recently started a new fish tank. please dont get any ideas, i'm not upgradeing my tank size. i now run a 6 gal. saltwater aquarium with bio wheel filter.(wet/dry) i keep the tank at 76-79 degrees f. i have crushed coral and live rock placed in my tank. the nitrates are at zero and the salt level is at 31.5 (1.020-1.021) i want to keep both A fish (single) and some type of live coral and shrimp i want the live coral to add color and i'm very aware that the coral will add problems to my tank, such as amonia levels rising, so i wanted to see if there was a good combination such as percula clown and a bubble tip annename (excuse my spelling please) but then is there a type of shrimp i could purchase to go with those two? thanks alot for any help you could give me. ~~Helplesschild3

What is your lighting situation? Unless it is power compacts, VHO, or a metal halide, I would skip the anemone. It will not survive in a new tank or without the proper lighting. If you have just a normal flourescent bulb, you could possibly to some of the low light mushrooms. Fish and inverts such as shrimp aren't bothered by light. A cleaner shrimp or fire shrimp would be pretty in your small tank. If you are going to get an invert, you will have to up the salinity to 1.023 - 1.025.
