mhart032 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Pico type tank with a shrimp/goby would be cool is it enough room? Just thinking about my pink spot and jap pistol they were huge and dug like crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 I might have to rethink the goby/shrimp idea as the orb comes with ceramic stones vs. sand. Sand won't work as it'd block filtration and get swept into the filter pad. Now I'm leaning towards seahorses. Mama might have to put the squeeze on me tho to get me to commit...

+KeeperOfTheZoo Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 How about a non-photosenthetic coral tank? There's a beatiful amount of diversity in that group of corals. I would think you could spot feed easily enough in a tank that small so water quality could be maintained. Not sure of the growth rate of the non-photo corals but isn't it pretty slow for many? I've considered doing just this in a nano, I love the corals and they are so unique, It would be really different to have a 'no light' tank when so often 'max light' is what we're all going for, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've considered doing just this in a nano, I love the corals and they are so unique, It would be really different to have a 'no light' tank when so often 'max light' is what we're all going for, That is a really good idea (second to the beer idea ), due to not needing a strong light. It probably would be about the same amount of work to keep up a non-photo tank as seahorses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The only drawback on a seahorse tank of that size...1. Young ponies need to be feed more frequently (3-4 times a day)...therefore your polluting the water...which in the end you'll have to do more water changes---which it's not that much regarding this size of tank. 2. You have to consider evaporation....a small tank will evaporation and it will be on constant fluctuation with PH and salinity. I'm only saying this because of previous experience, as I had a nano tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 yeah, the water pollution issue is why I don't want to do non-photosythentic. I'd have to feed them a lot so the water would easily foul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KeeperOfTheZoo Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Not all non-photo corals are filter feeders. If you concentrated on those you can spot feed vs filter feed I dont think itd be any worse than anything else. I've contemplated a sun coral tank. I have a 20g I'm about to upgrade to a 55g, pondering nano ideas for the little tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Mark, any closer to a decision on this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 or you could do a simple fresh water if all else fails... dont have to worrk about chemical levels nearly as much other then the nitrates and such.... DONT PICK A GOLDFISH THOUGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Derry...not really, but the tank is cycling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 if you decide to go fresh water Mark I can hook ya up with something colorful that will stay smaller and is slow growing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
