Hello everyone im new to saltwater and would basically just like to get some info on a few certain things I cant find by googling, ect.
First off I bought a Fluval 13.5g AIO, and I would like to know if the base lighting on that would be sufficient to keep a coral, and or anemone (I know i need to of course have my tank much more mature but I like to research a lot ahead of time) If it is not can anyone recommend a small nano tank light ? My plans for the tank are to keep it some what small in live stock, a pistol shrimp, goby pair, with 2 clowns, and an anemone, not really sure what corals I really want yet.
But that brings me to my next question would a pistol shrimp and goby pair live happily in this 13g? I have about 1-1 1/2 inch of sand plenty of rock on the surface for him to tunnel under (I made sure it was on glass before pouring sand, heard they crush themselves..) and is my livestock pushing it aswell?
My last question is how can I tell if my cycle has started? I tested for ammonia and it is about .2ppm but no trace of nitrites for a few days (maybe im rushing just want to make sure I did it right)
