Starting up a lil tank

[McAllister 22]

Was thinking of starting up a tank will this work but not for jellyfish

.. That doesn't seem very big.. How many gallons ?

 

[McAllister 22]

8g I thick got given to me i just going keep it simple but do they make a pump small enough that will turn it into a turbine

What could I use for a filtration system

 

[sabrinarichard]

That kind of tank usually comes with a built-in filter.. Of not I'm not sure, maybe a small internal filter.. You can't do much in a 8g, I'd do a shrimp tank for sure .. Maybe a betta..

You could run a small sponge filter

Jellyfish are not easy to keep. You need a strong light for upside downs(the easiest to my knowledge, but still difficult) as they're photosynthetic. Is this your first sw tank? I would not start out with jellyfish

Square tanks tend to trap jellyfish in the corners.

Haha whoops you're right. Thanks. It could work for a single clown goby. Is there filtration?

Me too. Not many fish can take a 8 gallon. I would go for Inverts. Maybe a shrimp or two and some hermit crabs.

Hey. Its 6 gallons. I tried a nano reef with this very tank. Could be done.
Flow was a major problem. Imo- no sand could work. cleaning is a major pain, keep it simple. Equipment looks ugly as you cant hide it.

Paint the back black and that will hide the equipment

What did u use a pump to give it the flow and as a filter I was thinking 102 Fluval and for a light there's not too many options but I did order led

 

[Big Tex]

for fish you could go with one of these but in my honest opinion a 6g is way to small for anything but its your tank so its your decision bud, good luck!

Nano Fish

I tried 3 power heads, korilla pico 180, rio 50 & rio 180. The 50 worked best as the shape turns water over and the powerhead arms are able to be angled so slightly.

I made a hob refugium from a medium breeder box, & korilla 50 heater.
Par 38 led-

Had no issues but I had to much rock work to add the corals I wanted, more of a personal preference than anything.

I still have it, going to turn it into a fresh planted frog tank for the little ones.

To small for fish imo-

What type of corals did you have in there
