Hi all,
I have just setup a little Nano tank (5 gallon). I put in it about 6lb of fully curred Live Rock, it has one of those little 10Watt PC type lights, an AquaClear 20 hang on filter (probably an overkill for a 5gallon tank), and a little 25 watt heater.
To the tank, I have added 3 small snails of some variety (not sure exactly what they are, but they are only about 1/4" in size), a small hermit crab, as well as 3 different mushrooms.
I'm thinking of adding both a Skunk Cleaner shrimp, as well as a yellow watchman goby.
Hopefully, someone can help me with knowing if adding what I'm planning is an overkill for only a 5gallon tank??? Also, what type of maintenance schedule should I keep with on this?
I will be putting this on my desk at work. I figure that if I do a 1 gallon water change weekly (that is about 25% of the water volum now, after adding the live rock), and monitor evaporation daily... things should be okay???
Any helpful information would greatly be appreciated! When I get the possibility of a camera at work, a picture will follow.
