I am hesitant to place the order because I do not know what I want to do for sure yet, what will I be able to accommodate successfully in a 3 gallon?

Pretty much whichever coral frags you'd like for one, as long as you provide flow and lighting.

Well, you cant go wrong with zoas or shrooms. They look nice, and if you are ready for the next step, you can always go ricordea or maybe try some blastos or lps

Planning on stocking mine with frags from my larger reef. This will include star polyps, red shrooms, green ricordeas, assorted color zoas, red palys, green mushroom leather, colt coral, and I'll be growing caulpera as well. Fully loaded

I am going to try something like this over the weekend with one of my 1 Gallon Cubes.

 

[chrissaysyes]

Best of luck to ya

 

[nogarobluenano]

are there any inverts I can stock in there?

 

[nanocubeking]

The problem with that tank is that they have such a bad filter system. 40 ghp isnt enough to circulate the whole tank. But with inverst a group of Sexy shrimp would be cool.

The one I am looking at has an 80gph flow, that would be about 26x instead of 13x, I don't know hopefully that would work. That would be alot of movement for that small of a tank.

So this is pretty much my list right now, let me know if I am missing anything other than the obvious like salt.

Thermometer
Blue Lunar Light
Master Test Kit 5-in-1
Deco 3 Gallon Kit
Marineland 10watt 3g heater
Power Center with Timer

My tank is close to that size and I'm doing 100gph with the flow...I'd consider doing something similar for something that size...

 

[nogarobluenano]

You just ruined my plans!

 

[chrissaysyes]

Hah, how so?

 

[nogarobluenano]

I wanted to stay under $175.
