My sons new tank 8 gallon evolve

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Just made my son a new micro reef for him to care for and I wanted opinions as to what to put in it , it's all set except for the light that I will replace with a ai nano I have.

Open to ideas .......

 

[Koolaidreef]

I would do a zooanthid dominated nano . all the nice types

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Yeah I am def gonna do zoas , but fish is the real challenge

 

[NYreefNoob]

2 black tangs and a purple tang and 1 achilles

I have a 7.5 at work and just have one small clown, yellow goby and 2 crabs. Going to add a pistol shrimp this week. With a tank so small the water evaporates so fast. GL and I am sure he is going to enjoy the tank.

I was thinking more like full sized sailfin lol

 

[Koolaidreef]

fish?

Yeah I am def gonna do zoas , but fish is the real challenge

I personally would stay away from fish unless u upgrade filtration so it is easier for your son to maintain

Congrats on your sons new set up, for fish I would personally do Something color full, like a yasha goby and pistol shrimp, yellow stripe cardinal, and a pygmy wrasse, they are all colorful and you would cover every level of the tank, as far as coral go I would start of with just softies. And see how he responds to handling them, as he matures and gets experience thru your guidance let him decide what he would put in their.

A Great White would look shabby in this tank.

"if its wearing it at a belly shirt" lmao

 

[Rob&Gab]

i like the tank alot tho hope it turns out to be an amazing tank. if you need some zoo's/palys come threw if you want where in whitestone queens.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Thanks rob maybe I will see u when I'm in that neck of the woods and see if gab can hook me up with that great white lol

Richie I was thinking about a pistol goby combo as well lol

I recently got a few firefish gobies. Your son might like them because they are fast and stay in sight.

 

[lfsmarineguy]

Will your son have access to the tank?

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

Absolutely , anytime he wants it's in the dinning room

 

[rambler67]

looks good i am think about setting one of them up too.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

It's nice to have a small reef , easier to control lol and all is small

 

[roycinus]

maybe a yellow clown goby? They are kind of cute.
