4 gallon nano tank help?

[Chiaroscuro]

So I recently purchased a 4 gallon marineland classic aquarium in the hopes of turning it into a nano saltwater aquarium. The lights are LED's and pretty strong, and the filter is very strong (though a little loud) My question though is if I can get any fish in it, and if so, what kind? I know I would be pushing it with a tank of this size, but I really want a fish. Also, if anyone has an experience with this model of aquarium, I would greatly appreciate any reviews. Thanks in advance!

for fish i wouldnt put any. Some will say one clown ,but you can go with shrimp

A small goby should be OK.

this is EXACTLY the same 4 gallon i have. heres what ive done it it so far.

junked the stock filter. bought an AC70 with inTank media basket (filter floss, chemipure elite, phosban and chaeto)

i retro'd a panorama pro strip of white/blue led. i kept the blue strip that came with the tank to use a moonlight.

remounted the 3 strips of white on the ac70 lid to grow the chaeto.

the white light and moon light come on when my panorama pro turns off.

im using a visaqua 50w heater mounted inside the aquarium (no room in the filter)
i have the temp sensor in the filter basket.
get a korila nano.

and then i used 4lbs of live sand about 3-4lbs of live rock.

this tanks been going great for 5 months now.

oh and ive got a clown and six line. both are about and inch long probably less.

the acrylic is cheapo tho it'll scratch easy so be careful cleaning. im hoping to upgrade to a shallow tank thats <10 gallons.

anyways best of luck!

some of your smaller gobies, like clown gobies, Gold Neon Eviota Goby, Neon goby, red spot, red stripe, or maybe some dwarf seahorses, if you want to put the extra effort. However, as previously mentioned, inverts and corals might be your best bet with a tank that small. In my pico i had a single wart skin angler.

shrimp , snails , hermits , maybe a small clown , i would recomend a goby or a clown or a bangii cardinal , i kept a clownfish and bangii in a 6 gal till i upgraded

No clowns. A small goby.

I would get a clown goby or a neon goby

the leds are pretty strong? whats the wattage on them? they may be reef ready, but most marinelands lights arent going to be good enough.
as for fish, a clown goby would be ok, but i wouldnt recommend any fish, inverts would be a much better choice.
anyhow, GL with the tank.

I would just do inverts and corals. No fish.

Post some pics! Im a fan of gobies. Yellow clown gobies are prolly my fav. And panda gobies. Lots of cool nano fish. Check out live aquaria. Tons of nano fish
