i feel like crap, guess i added the corals too soon(been cycling for 3 weeks) to my new 6 gal nano. micro's are a complete loss, acan is sliming, hammerhead is on the way out. what a way to start the day... anyone mind taking in my acan and hammerhead while my tank stabilizes?

6 gallon micro?
like 556 said, water change and amquel.
Heck, you could change 4-5 gallons a day, every day, indefinately, until the cycle settles down. Just make the batch for tomorrow, today, and heat and aerate it in a bucket overnight so you can drop it in tomorrow.

you see it all the time...
when you walk into lfs', a lot of them have nano's set up with brightly colored sofites and lps...definitely tempting!!!
perceived lower cost (small tank purchase, a little bit of live rock, a very small inadequate skimmer (if they even make one for a tank that small to effectively work)...voila, instant reef tank...
only, they dont tell you that the smaller the tank...the exponentially increase in work it takes to maintain that micro biotope.
unless it is one of these:

golfish,
I agree that sps is pretty much near impossible,
but I can't see why certain softies and lps couldn't work in a small nano aquarium.
In my experience, the upkeep of a nano that houses nice corals is equivalent to that of a big tank. So, a lot of new reefers start out with small aquariums believing that it'd cost less to maintain it, but unfortunately ... that's usually not the case in the end.
