7G cube need help

[RichardNeoOcean]

The tank is too small for that unfortunately. If you want to do those three fish a 20 gallon is the exact size tank you would want for 3-4 small fish.
As spare time said you could only do something extremely tiny and not very active of a fish in a 7 gallon

understand! i will keep in mind it ... and think very well about the fish. thank you!

so i can scale the scoop and calculate the amount! i will make a resear of this line of product and see what others brands have as well.. maybe they have some who fits by gallon with measurements...
i was think as well and buy some copepods alive and add to the tank.

Live copepods are great! You might have to dose just a little live phyto daily after adding them if you want them to stay alive at least at first

Your main issue with a tank that size will be keeping things stable, especially if you want sps. A big water change will actually cause a quick change in parameters like temp/salinity unless you’re very careful to make sure the new water matches exactly. I’d suggest smaller daily water changes to add up to 10% over the course of a week. With a tank that small it would be super easy. Also, you might want to consider starting with soft corals to see how they do. LPS like acans or trumpets are pretty easy as long as the alk and ca are maintained. I agree with the other posters that there’s not a lot of room for fish. IMO you could only keep very small fish in there, smaller than clownfish. It’s a pretty tank! Keep asking questions here. We all want to help!

yea i will start with some zoanths... add little by little and keep eyes on the parameters... i already have 2 bottles of 1 gallon each .. so i was thinking in do daily water chance until finish the whole gallon in the course of 1 week. right now i have a canister pugged on the tank that i was expected to use as movement of the water as well in the tank... but it is too weak for it... so i decide order a nero 3 or mp10 and remove this canister at once .. and to polish the water .. once a week i can plug one water clear and and filter it .

You're also making a really good choice by using live rock! Btw, I meant to mention about the AF Pro Bio F that it can help control your nitrate and phosphate but since you don't have any right now you don't need it yet...after you start accumulating phosphate and nitrate from feeding you could choose to add it

The black back is to hide cords and the heater in the tank. Do you have a heater for the tank yet? Some corals or gorgs can do ok in 72 degrees but not all

right now have heater inside of the canister filter... but once i remove the canister and leave only the tank. i will put a thin titanium heather .. so will be just a polished titanium inside of the tank... almost imperceptive .. with controller inside of the cabinets.

i got lucky to find a Natural ...really old style and light live rock.. not man made. maybe i will put some more ... but i like the clean designe like this..

i will dosing brightwell bacteria every time i do water change...


im think in a pair of small clown fish or a pair of small goby only. and maybe 1 small crab. some exotic ...

A 7 gallon is way too small for a pair of clowns.... I would suggest a crab or shrimp and 1 or 2 small fish. You might find a watchman goby/ pistol shrimp pair to be exotic.
