im thinking about setting up a 70l nano but im wondering what fish i can put in it. the book ive got called "marine fishes" states that every fish needs atleast 76 litres..
anyone got a similar sized nano? what do you keep in yours? Thanks! |

Try Neon Goby

o heck! i missed them and the shark nose goby 38L lol
cant say im a fan of either fish to be honest.. only considering setting one up because i have a spare 2 ft tank, 6x24w t5 light, heater and red sea prizm protien skimmer.. ive been told the skimmer is poor but its surely capable of skimming a 70l tank? lol |

What about scorpion/frog fish? I don't know what the actual minimum is but as they tend to waddle about on the substrate they don't need a lot of room
How about an invert and frag tank? |

actually no, strike that idea! Frag tanks are what reef tank keepers might have as their second tank! It's a tank for growing coral fragments into new corals which can then be placed back in the main aquarium or sold/traded/given away.

yes, sorry. Quite common for reef keepers to talk about frags and it has nothing to do with Quake.

the best cure i found for aptasia is the pepper mint shrimp. i had quiet a few after i cycled my tank, 6 weeks and 1 shrimp = 0 aptasia. if you have reef safe fish that is? my tank is 100ltr before rocks and stuff i think im at about 75ltr. i have just the 1 fish red stripe dwarf angel. as it is you have a quarentine tank for a backup.
