I have a 6g Eclipse tank that I want to stock. I am new to the hobby and only have a little experience. I started the tank a few weeks ago. The tank has a mix between live sand and crushed coral for a base. I also have two dead coral for deco. Right now all of my levels are around normal. My pH seems a little low between 8.0 - 8.1. Both nitrate and nitrite are at near zero. I can see some brown algae growth on the tank wall and coral so I think I am ready to stock. I want to have a nano reef tank but I am not sure how much work is involved. I am ready to do weekly or bi-weekly water changes, as needed. I have done a little research and would like to stock the tank as follows:
1 Maroon Clown (as small as possible)
1 Shrimp (possibly peppermint)
2 Turbo Snails or other type of snails
1 Small Bubble Anemone (Super Green)
I want to start with the shrimp and the snails. Once they settle in I then would get the clown. Finally I would remove one of the coral and replace it with the bubble anemone.
Is this too much live stock for such a small area? Also, do I need to upgrade the stock light on my eclipse?
Any and all advice would be great.
