Any advice on a good coral to start of with ?

 

[Danno]

Got some advise for you that I found while researching my own nano. Get ride of the chunky substrait you have and replace it with agronite sand instead. Also, the chromises in your tank needs more room that 30 liters. Also get rid of the UGF and get a HOB filter or canister filter. Also beause everything is in close proximilty I would (personally) get rid of the blue legged hermits and keep the reds, also, pick up some snails.

I would suggest Mushrooms, Leathers, Zoos, GSPs for corals.

I have read fish stocking guides that all said 2 green chromis would be ok in a 6g nano, My LFS said they should be fine aswell, the substrate i know about and i am thinking of some way to replace it without messing the whole thing up.

Thanks for the advise.

chromis are shoaling fish, and i'm afraid that 2 isn't a shoal, the coral grave/ug filter combo is going to cause you nothing but problems i'm afraid, if were you i would

1, take the chromis and the blue legs back to the shop
2, get a big bucket and put all your water and rock into it.
3, get rid of the gravel and u/g.
4, put the rock and water back in and add a fine layer of argnonite/fine coral sand

the live rock is all the filter you need just aim the powerhead on the diagonal to create some flow.

there really are much better fish for a nano, everyone will have their recomendations but the chromis really would suffer!

hope that helps

I will never trust my lfs again ! thanks for the advise i will replace the filter and substrate i will be getting a bigger tank soon i will hold on to the livestock until then.

Would a fluval 2+ do the trick as a new filter they make good circulation, they a silent and i think i can make it blend in with a black backing and live rock.
So would it be ok ? Because i want to start the change as soon as possible.

As stated before, the Live Rock will provide you with all the filteration you will need, just get a powerhead to move the water. Look at Maxijets, Seio, Tunze for good powerheads.

So JakeKM didn't trust me?

I would absolutely get a filter. Internals take up space so go with a HOB. Fill the filter with high quality carbon in a NYLON bag, not a filter floss bag.

I did trust you, i have now changed my substrate cuz you said the ug is gone. But i do have an internal filter

 

[leecara]

yeh green chromis need a tank of 20 or so gallons or more
how many gallons is 30 litres

 

[Danno]

7.92516154 US gallons

 

[leecara]

i woudlnt keep anything under 15 gall let along 2 fish in a 7 us gall wich is about 4 uk gal

You could keep 2 Neon Gobies in there. Luckily small tanks doesn't mean that the possibilities have ended. You could make a beautiful reef tank in that.
