Cool!

Congrats on the new tank and Merry Christmas!

 

[Wizard4s]

Thanks I love it, I will buy all the rock, sand ect next weekend, and merry Christmas to you too

 

[Wizard4s]

Any advice or ideas would be very helpful from anyone

How much did it cost?

 

[Wizard4s]

I thinks it's around £70 also comes with filter and heater which is hidden away, I love this tank and can't wait to get started on it.

 

[Crabs]

Yeah. It's a good looking tank

My only advice would just be to keep a good watch on your water parameters since it is a smaller tank. Since smaller tanks do not have a large water volume, there is more room to make a mistake.

 

[Wizard4s]

Yeah thanks, I will have to just make sure I'm always checking it, would love to get a larger tank just don't have the room, do you think I would be able to put 1 small clown or goby in?

 

[Ewatson249]

Goby yes, clown no. But it's only my opinion. Some may say otherwise. Nice tank by the way, good luck!

Get a goby and a firefish

I am not sure about a Clown, but you could definitely do a fish like the Clown Goby.
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Clown Goby, Yellow

There are more color variants too.

How long do firefish live for? Do you think I should put some crustations in there like crabs or something?

 

[Wizard4s]

I'm going to buy live rock soon, how much do you think I should get, the tank is about 15 litres (4g)? And should I buy normal or live sand? Thanks

 

[Mikehommel]

This tank would be able to host a clown. I had a 14g tank with several fish and inverts and it was great. Upgraded to a 29g tank and still have same fish plus some new ones

 

[Mikehommel]

Ps. I use live sand and about one pound per gallon. One bag of sand should be enough

 

[Wizard4s]

Ok thanks, I am buying the live rock and everything today so will update with pics later

 

[Wizard4s]

Everything is now set up I will add some pics when the water has cleared up, the guy in the fish shop advised against setting it up in a small tank, he said it was nearly Impossible, but I have seen it done so many times, it only has an aqua flow 50 internal filter which im using for flow, do you think I need to upgrade it or add a powerhead? Thanks

 

[Wizard4s]

Here is a pic of my tank slowly clearing up lol

 

[Mikehommel]

I would add a power head once you add some more things to the tank. Also another good investment would be a uv sterilizer before you add too much.
