Bargain Tank, But What To Put In

[dgwebster]

I purchased a bargain tank, almost a cube at 18"x15"x12" (approx 15Us gal or 11UK gal, rounding up).

I was thinking at this size, ideal for putting something small but viscious on its own.

So my thoughts are on what I want to do with it.

I think I may go nano reef/marine on it but my ideas so far are:

A Dwarf Puffer fish, which is fresh water.

I was wondering if other people can give me suggestions of other freshwater, but mainly marine fish, as other things I look at always require a much large tank volume and I am getting tired lol

Once I get the ideas in I will start reseaching. As I am currently setting up the 4 footer right now, it will probably be christmas before I get started on this one, but I like to take my time and carefully plan it so I can be sure to get the required environment for whatever fish I will choose.

Cheers fo all th suggestions and help and sorry for the "what would you put in it" topic - that appears time and time again on the forum. Only by asking the question can I target the broad audience here that can give some great suggestions and advice that I may have missed.

Have a drive down to UDA in Cuper

They have the best Marine Shop in Scotland, excellant staff who will keep you right

It must only be about 15 - 20 mins from you

yeah, I use the UDA for all my stock etc. - in fact going to them later this week for an amount of supplies. I try to keep away from the place that is really really near me as I only want to rescue them all. I am quite liking the neon goby.

though more an more, im thinking about using the cube-esk tank for a dwarf puffer fish and using the 20 gallon for a marine. but then again, there was also a 30"x18"x18" going for a song so I may just get this instead of the 18" tank. damn MTS

For the neon goby/pistol shrimp, what sort of stocking level am I looking at?
