How good are you about caring for fish? Like, if you had to hatch live brine shrimp daily, would you be able to? If you need help with a cheap and simple hatchery, I can swing by with a homemade setup I have to show you.
Because, if you could/would, I'd recommend a Pipefish/Dwarf Seahorse tank! Be a little different!

If I wasn't in an apartment still, then I'd be in
So it has been 4 days since I removed the shrimp. The Ammonia has come down a little bit to 1.5, but the Nitrite is super high and so are the Nitrates. I thought once the trites and trates were high the Ammonia would be zero....am I wrong? Since the trites and trates are up, does that mean I'm cycled?
I know you are supposed to wait until Ammonia and Nitrite are at 0, but they haven't budged in days.

Moving in the right direction but not fully cycled. Ammonia and nitrite will be zero when cycled.
Sorry just read the second part that you know that... I would keep waiting. Any ammonia or nitrite will kill fish and coral.

I'm interested! Is it easy to hatch them and move them to tank?
Extremely lol. I'll take some pictures of the set up tomorrow and PM them to you. 2 L Bottle, Air Pump, Air Line, and the valve that controls how much air goes through the line. Simple as pie
Steve congrats on the cycle looking close to being done. Let us know if you need help with final fish selection, we kept 10g for a couple of years.
Brine shrimp are easy to culture, we have done it off and on for the past couple of years. We have not done it for a while after we started culturing the live tigger pods as they were even easier and the cultures lasted a lot longer. I will get Nikki to chime in as this is more her area.

Thanks man! I will let you know! Looking forward to get a fish in there lol.
Thanks! This is what I am working on now. A stock list. How many fish were you able to safely keep? 2? 3? 5?
Depends on the fish. What becomes critical with a smaller tank is finding out where the fish "lives" So you can get more fish in if you plan it out. For example a goby and pistol shrimp will live in your sand and rocks, so you could probably do two of those. Cleaner gobies live kind of on rocks and the tank glass, and assessors or clown fish will live out in the open. So if you play around with it you can get 5 or so pretty easy. With barnacle blennies you could probably get closer to 10. Just have to keep up on the 10% weekly water changes.
Mike....Here is what I have been thinking:
Neon Blue Goby
Clown Goby
Tail Spot Blenny
Orange Spotted Goby with Pistol Shrimp
Purple Firefish
1-2 Clowns
Opinion?
