.9 gallon reef

Chevyyeet · Dec 7, 2022

I recently was brought back from the brink of defeat with this hobby. So naturally after overcoming my obstacles and seeing success I have decided on another challenge. A .9 gallon reef tank! I know it’s gonna be difficult but I have already sourced an ATO and filter. I also plan on doing weekly water changes in order to keep the tank in balance. My primary question was, do I make it coral only? Or should I add a goby, maybe a shrimp? I’m all ears!

A goby and shrimp would be a cool addition. But a pico with coral only would be awesome as well. Im kinda tied up either way you go its gonna be a good looking tank.

Well of course I’m not gonna put a tang in there. At max it would be a pistol shrimp and goby. In the event they get too big I’ll move them to the 30g.

1 liter is approximately 1 quart...

I’m worried about my new nem. Please help. His tentacles have gotten even thinner since I took this picture. My lights are going into nighttime mode I just turned them on for this pic. Is it dying?

How long has this tank been set up?? Seems WAY too early to add a nem...
