Thank you
For a cool invert, you could try a crinoid. They require excellent water quality though. So, only do one if you plan on keeping up with a tank to make sure it doesn't die. (They are very sensitive).
Never heard of em, I'll have to look em up, thanks!
Those r so weird looking Lol I've never seen them in a tank before. Never even seen anyone selling them lol
http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2013/7/inverts Don't think they will do well in nano..also there is a "squat lobster" with same name that might work.
Thanks for that. Not sure I like em anyway Lol
Well its been about a week and a half, still no ammo or nitrites, nitrates still at 5ppm. Did a 4g water change to try and bring the nitrates down, didn't seem to help Lol. Starting to see a lil algae bloom. Brown on glass and the rock so that's a good sign
Well it didn't take long before my gf kept pestering me saying the clowns didn't have enough room. So I scored a Innovative Marine Nuvo 16g tank. Same depth, just longer. Also has all the necessary spots for media/skimmer/heater etc. And the thing I like the most is it has a spot for the return pump in the back and has 2 output nozzles for directional flow 
cleaned it out yesterday really well. Plan to either put it up tonight or tomorrow.

I know! I hate it. But this is better for me and the clowns so its all good LolYou're kinda like that NEM that won't stop moving around the tank.lol
You'll like the extra room lol. I have both set up. Double is always better
I don't even have it set up and I'm already loving it lolYou'll like the extra room lol. I have both set up. Double is always better
Yeah I know! Lol my gf would look at the tank everyday and say "they don't have enough room. Its too small for them" so yeah I was kind of forced to find em a bigger home. But thanks man! Appreciate that
I'm tryna figure out if I wanna do sand in this tank. What does everyone recommend? Definitely not Fine sand, blows around too much
I did the 16 bare and the 8 with a slightly more coarse sand. I also highly recommend upgrading the return pump for the 16. The flow is slightly lacking. I'd also recommend different lights besides the stock Skyye LED lights. They are GREAT for softies. Lps and up tend to tank under them.
Well I plan on putting the MJ400 in place of the stock pump, I don't have lights at the moment. They didn't come with em so I'll be using the light from the 8g for now but I plan on buying a new light in a few weeks. I just don't know if I wanna do sand yet Lol my main concern is having it blow around. Do u think the mj400 will be enough power alone?
What's the flow rate for it? I'd shoot for 400-500 gph for the return. This will allow you to avoid having any powerheads in the tank itself and will provide ample circulation for everything (As long as we are talking about the 16g).
