Help me fill a nano

[Mark_C]

IM 10g, upgraded pump, Skkye light, aqua gadget stream, protein skimmer, live rock, etc.
Planned on selling this for $100, no takers, and refuse to let it go for less (though its stil available until I fill it).

SO! If I don't sell it and fill it...

Drop me your thoughts please. Any suggestions appreciated.

Fish will be a single Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse, eventually. Skeleton crew CUC.

I was thinking:

1) Mushroom only (and these will be the low end bouncers).

2) Mushroom mixed with GSP, with GSP covering all non-rock surfaces.

3) Mushrooms mixed with pulsing Xenia, with Xenia covering all non-rock surfaces.

4) Full pulsing Xenia covering all surfaces.

5) A true random tank where I ask retailers for their low end floating frags and just dump them in to adhere to whichever surface they will.

Creative suggestions and experienced opinions welcome. This is an experimental tank. Would like to see what unconventional things may be done in a small space WITHOUT risking harm to the inhabitants.

I love zoas in nano setting ...in a bigger tank they can get lost but not in nanos. If not #1

I like zoas as well in a nano

 

[Mark_C]

Agreed, zoas would be cool.
Was tinkering with GSP on floor, pulsing xenia on back, mushrooms on center column, a few small zoa colonies placed on individual rocks.
Now the option of freshwater has come into play.
Researching dwarf puffers.
Anyone have any experience.

Not a dwarf but I've kept a figure 8 puffer in the past. had em in a 30 gal tank with mollies, guppies and platy's with no issue. The tank was planted so he kept the snails away. never had an issue with aggression as the mollies kept em in check.

He only ate bloodworms though but so did the other fish so it worked out

When I had the IM 8g, it was a beautiful tank and became a zoa garden with GSP on the back wall.

 

[Russell Bennett]

Would love my back wall covered with GSP- I should move my GSP rock to the wall and hopefully it happens.

PS Do you need GSP lol?

 

[Mark_C]

I just traded out a large rock covered with GSP.
Now, as always in life, something I gave away recently is needed.

I'm going to hold onto this life jacket, spare tire, fire extinguisher, and parachute.

Now don't be hasty mark I would buy that tank off of you if you want .
