New Nano :) pics!

Finally got our much wanted nano tank
its an Aqua Euro 19g (technically 24g with sump) its about the same as a nanocube/aquapod but taller and better built/better lighting+moonlights and with dual returns and protein skimmer with more room in sump..(made by hamilton) and much sturdier stand! We just got the rockwork finished and added a few frags, the tank is 100% existing water and live rock, but we let it sit in case of a mini-cycle for a week just in case. So far theres a skunk clown and a midas blenny. Id like some small active fish in the tank as well, as some easy corals since its only power compact lighting (two 36 watts). Any ideas?

Looks like a nice start. Really like the aquascaping. Zoanthids are pretty easy, and would do well under your lighting. They're one of my favorite low maintenance corals.

well we added quite a few corals this week and a skunk clown and a midas blenny. i had a small copperband in to eat some aptasia as well for a few days. the skunk disapeared and im guessing died. we couldnt find him but today all the fish are dead. do you think the skunk died and made the levels spike since its such a small tank? my nitrites were really high and a little nitrate..no ammonia..salts 1.023..what happened will my coral be ok?

Sounds to me like your tank wasn't finished cycling, and you added a good bit of live stock which spiked the toxic nitrites.

like i said the water, LR was from my established 180g and i let it sit for a week...the corals are fine today.
