Hey all, i have a ten gallon nano reef. Specs: 0 nitrites, nitirates, ammonia, ph is in the 8.0 range (I just tested it yesterday, can't recall the actual fiqure, i'll do another today and double check.) Resonable temp, salt is 1.021. Current inhabitants include a pgymy angel ("North atlantic pygmy angel") about two inches, and two four strip damsels. Inverts from hitchikeing include several dusters, snails, and q-tip sponges. Uptime is 2 months and a week. I do weekly water changes and the only equipment is a powerhead and a heater. I took the skimmer i had off as it was causeing more trouble then it was worth on a tank with such waterchanges.
edit: Lighting is provided by two half sun/arctic zoomed coral lifes.
Now i know some people would say i am overstocked, but my formely white live sand has turned green, so i am lacking a sand sifter. I am thinking of picking up a fighting conch and maybe a cleaner shrimp. Would this be a horrid idea? Are there better inverts? I dont want to add another fish, but would a small goby be fine? Maybe a urchin, but i think most arent reef safe?
Much thanks given to those with more experince in salt then myself. Please excuse the spelling.
