    Default Stocking ideas ? ?

    Just looking for some stocking ideas for a new nano reef sett-up(Boyu 80 litre nano-cube) I'm doing ? At the moment the tank is cycling with mature water and live rock from my other sett-up and some old live-sand (stored wet in a bucket for 3 months). I have a pair of baby common clowns, yellow watchman and a Hi Fin Red Banded Goby. So looking for some ideas for fish/inverts.

    I would say if you have the clowns and two gobies, you are pretty much stocked if you put all of them in your nano. I guess you could add a couple of the small gobies like green banded, red headed, etc. As for inverts, you'd probably want a couple pistol shrimp to shack up with your gobies.

    Got any photos of your tank? Also you might want to think about entering our nano tank contest:

    Default Stocking ideas ? ?

    Thanks for the reply's lads. Is it possible for me to win the competition with me living in Ireland ?
    I've also picked up a yellow headed jawfish and a green mandarin (Both feeding on frozen,flake and pellets) for the nano, just a few small shrimp and I think I'll make a start on the corals.

    I don't see why its not possible...I guess if you won, I might ask for a little help with the shipping costs since I'm not sure how much that would be. It sounds like your maxed on fish now. Hopefully, the mandarin makes it...a new tank and nano at that, you may need to get some pods for it to eat.

    Yeah, the Mandarin seems to be doing well (nice and fat) I have him almost a week and accept all prepared foods.
