3 Gallon Super Nano Tank...Stocking ideas?

[td3025]

I've had this 3 gallon cube sitting around in my house forever and I randomly got the idea to turn it into a mini tank maybe for hermits and some frags? But I just wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas, or if it's even plausible. The smallest saltwater tank I've ever had is my 29 while the largest being a 75, but since I already check my levels every other day for all my tanks I figured I could handle the upkeep of a very tiny tank. Plus I think it'd just look adorable to have a tiny little tank.

3g is pretty small. Maybe a trimma or eviota goby...

I'm not even that interested in having fish in that tank! Just trying to think of what coral frags and shrimp/hermits could do best in there

Tiny invert tanks rock! I would suggest some bumblebee shrimp and a fancy hermit (Halloween, blue knuckle, scarlet, starry, whatever).

If only corals and inverts, look at Periclemines shrimp, squat lobsters, a sexy shrimp.

I like the idea of the pompom crabs...

I think it would be better to make it a sexy shrimp disco - lights & disco ball, a little B Gees music.

I'm starting the set up process now. Using some
spare of what once was live but is now dry rock to start it

Nice. It looks good!

The tank looks good! 3 gallon is the perfect size to put on a desk for a decoration
