My New Nano

[davidandliz]

Just ot a 24 gal nano and have no ideal what to put in it...
Please give me ideas.. anything... what would you do with it???? thanks to anyone who can help

Maybe a mated pair of shrimp gobys and a pistol shrimp. Thats what im hoping to put into the 48" nano that im planning.

zoas ... zoas ... zoas ... and a neon goby .. toadstool and a clown ... hand full of hermits and snails ...

oh, and more zoas ...

with a 150W Viper MH (not necessarily IN it)

 

[ronert]

oh, yeah, and some sand and rock .... and did i mention zoas ...

actually, take a trip to East Coast Aquatics ... they have a few nanos set up ... that might give you some ideas. (like zoas)

 

[davidandliz]

Yeah im definitely putting live rock from my 90 gal in it and sand. def pulsating xenia.. poss my elegance. .. i think im going to arrange the rock so that if you look down into the water from the lid it looks like a "U" so it has a little incove. .

What kind of zoas are you suggesting i get ..im not too familiar with them.

 

[Gordonious]

You already got my opinion. I'd do xenia, zoanthids, and a frog fish. Keep the community fish that will work with your other fish in the big tank. Make this one a species only(as far as fish go) and get something different with some character to it.

What level of lighting will you have on the tank? that will determine what you can keep in the way of corals. a 150watt MH 15,000K - 20,000K should do very well for just about anything. except low light stuff like mushrooms.

 

[ronert]

zoas = zoanthids

 

[davidandliz]

right now it has stock on it but probably going to get a halide retrofit... or maybe just stronger wattage.

 

[davidandliz]

i know what zoas are i just dont know the difference species and if one is better looking or hardier then another.

 

[DamnPepShrimp]

There are tons of species! Some better looking then others, more rare, and definitely more expensive! Just pick out the colors that you like. They are pretty hardy, just give them good light and water parameters.

sorry went with shrooms.... maybe zoas next time..
