Rebels 5.5 Gal NANO

[rebelprettyboy]

Well set up my 5.5 gal tank last night. Might get a few more LBS of live rock, but not sure. As of now is about 7 lbs of LR.
Filter is just an Aquasclear filter rated for 20 GPH. Wish I hada got a bigger filter I wasnt sure how big it would look on the tank. But def coulda got the 30 at least.
Gonna get one of those small Aquaclear powerheads. think it puses 80-120 gph or something like that I found.
And Lights will be a doubel bulb 18 inch t5 fiture. I beleive 40 wattsa or 36 I cant remember. Havent ordered them yet though.
Tank is gonna be ZOAS and ACANS maybe.. who knows lol

Awesome, should keep your corals nice and happy. Any fish or inverts only? I think you should get maybe 3 or 4 mandarin, what ya think

 

[rebelprettyboy]

lol I almost bought me a beatiful one yesterday when I got my rocks for 18.99, but 4 fish in my 14 might be to much!
Yeah hopefully the corals like it okay!
And im thinking
A watchmen Goby and Pistol shrimp
Anemone Crab x2
Sexy Shrimp x 3
and thats it!!!!

haha I know. I might have to actually let this tank cycle though

. I havent ever had to let a tank cycle cuz I usally grab rock out my other tank and place it in the new tank. This time I had to buy LR from lfs so IDK yet. Guess ill test the water 2morrow and see what it looks like!

 

[peef]

DUDE you should put a few different species of tang in there! It would look AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[alexa11]

I made mine cycle with a dead shrimp. I want lots of the bacteria in there so there is no question that it can handle my corals! Are you going to put the extra stuff you cant sell in there?

 

[rebelprettyboy]

yeah

I was just thinkin of a yellow tang of course a small one, some kind of trigger and an eel!!!

 

[subielover]

Yeah one of those 2 inch blue hippo tangs, should work great. They don't get big do they??

 

[rebelprettyboy]

Nah not to big. The usually die of ick before they have a chance to get big

 

[subielover]

Lol, so let's see a yellow tang, blue hippo, and 3 mandarins. Sounds like you may be getting a little close to max bio-load.

 

[alexa11]

just enough room for 1 seahorse though.

 

[rebelprettyboy]

nah forget the seahorse. Im gonna get 3 pipefish. should be able to get pplenty of food even w all the other tankmates!
