Nano Cube 12G DX

[Ethos]

Hey guys. As of yesterday I bought a 12G JBJ DX. Its only been 15 hours and I'm alreayd Madly in love with this system. I have 11 lbs LS and 7 LBS LR. On sunday I'm going to get another 7 lbs and a clean-up crew. But what do you guys suggest for a clean-up crew? I was thinking just a random assortment of snails, and one cherry shrimp. I'm not new to SW, Just Nanos.

Also, are there any restirctions to soft corals for Nanos? Thanks.

Snails are ok but they will knock things around. I like the little blue leg crabs. I would start with a few and then add more of what you like.

I have a 12G Aquapod that I just set up last week and have been adding creatures from my 75 as it goes along.

You say you aren't new to SW. That's good. Now in terms of your Nano....I say this.

Everything you ever knew about SW think smaller and faster in your Nano. Little lish, little corals, little everthing. Well, except LR. One can never have too much LR, but in moderation! You still need water volume for the live stock.

Faster means more frequent water changes. Watch your evaporation in the Nano too. I have to add at least a quart of FW a day. And of course the bad stuff happens faster and more severe.

Welcome aboard!
