I need some help deciding how to stock my 20 gallon nano tank.
Here are some specs:
• It's a 20 gallon hexagon tank
• Measures 15" across from side to side, and 18" from corner to corner. It stands 24" tall.
• It is has a Coralife 150 watt HQI hang-on fixture with a 14,000k bulb like this: http://www.hellolights.com/aqadhatamo.html
• It has plenty of live rock (approximately 40 lbs)
• 2 1/2 inch sand bed
• Currently no fish, but will be adding a clownfish, citron goby, royal grama, and a yellow tail damsel
The filtration is where my tank falls a little short. There is no skimmer or sump since the tank is in my office at work and I was limited on the setup. I may be able to add a sump down the road when I move to a new office this fall. In addition to the live rock, I'm using a canister filter with various media and carbon.
I have already added a few colonies of zooanthids and mushrooms that are doing well. I was considering adding a green bubble coral. Any suggestions? There isn't a lot of space horizontally, but I have my live rock stacked to the full height of the 24" tall aquarium. So I do have some room to work with.
