Stocking ideas for 8g

[Jesse18]

Just got the tank today it is an aqueon evolve I'm letting it cycle now I'm just wondering what would be good to put in it

Most fish the recommended size is at least 10 gallons you might find something on this site you could look into Nano Fish

What is your tank size?

I would reccomend a Clown Goby. If you go on Liveaquaria.com you can see all of the different kinds. They stay pretty small, and there are many different color variations.

What is your tank size?

It is a 8g

How much live rock is good for a 8g

 

[joy13]

Depending on the density between 8 and 10 lbs is usually pretty good.

 

[redsea]

Yep, I agree with joy!

Some people say 1lb per gallon others say 1.5 (as a guideline).

Ok cool

Just went out and got more live rock some has purple algae already on it

Have you decided what you are going to put in it yet?

I like to make it a reef with some shrimp but I don't know if the LEDs would support coral the LEDs came with the kit also how long dose it take purple up to change the rock purple

 

[SeanMonster]

Not sure. I have zero reef experience. I do know that there are led reef lights out now, but not sure if you need different colors etc.
