I just set up my first nano. It is a Red Sea Aquavase with a power filter and 7 watt PC light. I cut a piece of acrylic to make a tight fitting cover.
The sand and rock came from my well established 55 reef. I also used very seasoned filter media from the 55.
So far all that is in there is 3 curly-cue anemones that hitched on the rock. I plan to monitor the parameters for a while before adding any critters. Most likely inhabitants will be a hermit crab or 2, some small star polyp frags and a small shrimp like a Sexy. I'm still on the fence about adding a clown goby after the tank stabilizes.
Here it is...

someone help me out here, but dont clown gobies require alot of copepods and stuff in a large tank to feed off of? your goby will starve unless it isnt the type that feeds off that stuff, i'm not too sure of clown goby diet...

I just read a few articles on clown gobies. I won't be putting one in this tank. I'll stick to shrimp and hermit crabs with some polyps.

I think in that small of a tank fish would not do good.
However, I have a small yellow clown goby and he/she eats anything I give it.

no, they have nothing to do with pods.... you might be mixing a mandarin dragonet with that.... (which if you can handle its strict diet needs, buy one, they are amazing (y))
