I can't keep any coral on the floor - my pistol will drag it somewhere . . and the constant digging of the sand and stirring it up. . . some days will be so cloudy because the lil' bugger doesn't like the current tunnels. Just annoying in general.

Wow. 2.5 gallons. It will be tough to keep the water parameters stable. The stocking list looks good to me.

I think I will keep an eye on it for a while. I am getting a liquid test kit that has many tests. How often do you think I should check it Mike?

I think he ment salinity as the big one...I know I'd have a heck of a time keeping a nano topped off! Maybe I am just lazy...

I would check salinity daily until you get a feel for things. After that then use your own discretion. Maybe weekly?

Hi again, I have thought about getting a randalli goby and decided against it. Here's my new stock list:
Fish
-1 Tangaroa Shrimp Goby
Inverts
-1 Randalli Pistol Shrimp
-1 Turbo Snail
-1 Reef Hermit
Coral -1 Pom-Pom Xenia (two stocks on one rock)
-1 Green Ricordia
-5+ Purple/Blue Zoas
I'm not getting a feather duster either, at least not now.
Tell me what you think
