Aquarium Advice Regular
Ok, so I'm away at college now... and I miss having my tanks around all the time. So Im strongly considering a Nano tank for my dorm. I dont want anything horribly fancy or expensive (I'm a college student aka: poor)
So what Ive been thinking about doing is making a 5-1/2 gallon tank with zoos and some softies, a couple inverts and maybe a small fish like a citrinis. As far as my fish goes, do you think it would be wise to keep a fish in the 5-1/2 gal? if so, any recommendations.
Filtration is one thing ive been unsure about. I have a bunch of LR rubble in my sump at home that im gonna steal, but as far as a powerhead or hob what would you recommend? Obviously, water changes are going to be common, i figure ill do about a gallon or two a week. (I go home on sundays and Im just going to fill a couple gallon jugs when i do waterchanges there)
For lighting Im looking at the coralife mini aqualight. that would put it around 3 watts a gallon, which isnt bad... but i might want more depending on the corals i decide to get. Is there anything else someone would recommend that isnt that expensive but might put it around 5 watts/gal?
Any input is appreciated! thannks in advance
