Oh man this is going to b another great thread..lol

You should find the greatest coral ever... it's called a mojano anemone. cute little bubble tips on them, and the best part about them is any reefer that has them is more than willing to pass them on as a free item.

Lol...sorry I came on like that...I'm just looking to put in some fishes for now...someone said its going to spike a lot due to the 3 gallon size!!is this true?????

 

[INNEED]

what types of fishes are u putting in there ?how many? what type of filtration do u have? how often do u do your water changes? how many pounds of live rock do u have in there? when was the tank set up? did it cycle? answer all these questions then we might be able to help u out

 

[Barberreef]

Thanks INDEED!!well I have a 15 gal hang on..cotton and a few pieces of carbon for filtration!!i ordered a Protien skimmer...I have 5 5watt led which adds up to 180 lumens..I'm cycling the water for now because I'm waiting on my hydrometer also!!!

 

[Tranquil201]

Might want to cancel the hydrometer and get a refractometer as they are the most accurate.

humm so ur tank isnt quite ready for anything yet ur salinity might be of...do u have test kits to check ur levels of ammonia and nitrate/nitrite??

+1

You don't want to add anything until you know all your levels are where they need to be. You could also have very high gravity if you havent checked it yet either so you may still have to adjust that once you get your meter.

 

[Barberreef]

Thanks...hydrometer is on the way I should get it soon...I'll keep posted

I will be blunt. This is a disaster in the making. What type of protein skimmer will you be able to put on a 3 gallon tank? There are really no fish that will survive in a 3 gallon tank for long. Take some time and figure out where you are going with this.

I'm using oceanic bio cube Protien skimmer...it fits in the filter...it's about 4 inches...I'm pretty confident it's going to turn out ok...I started with some damsels today...maybe next 2 weeks I'll put in some mushrooms and see how it goes...I'll have pics up soon so u guys could see my "3 gallon saltwater"!!!
