Aquarium Advice Addict
One of the local fish stores has a salt water setup running in a 5g tank. The tank has a Aquaclear Mini filter, normal hood with a VERY bluish light, and nothing else out of the ordinary. The light has a very dim glow and might even be incandescent. Inside the tank is one piece of live rock on some live sand/crushed coral. The rock has a bunch of stuff living on it for being in such a small tank. There are a few small critters in the sand, and something with legs that always hides rock (I think it is a small crab or shimp). They tank has been up and going for a few months now without any changes so it should be pretty stable. How hard is it to do a mini environment like this? I do not want salt water fish in something this small but some small critters and shrimp would be great to have. Thanks.
