6 Gallon Nano
I'm looking to put a tank in my office, i need something as small as possible, but can still be a healthy reef. Does anyone have experience with the 6 gallon? JBJ has a nano cube here is a picture. are there any fish that would do well in a tank that small? if not do you think a little shrimp would?
I don't know a whole lot about reef tanks, but I'm learning. My husband and I have been setting up a 30g for the last few months.....he's Danyen on this forum.
Any in put would be welcome. Thanks,
Regina

Welcome to TRT Regina 
1 small fish (like a clown goby) would be fine a small skunk cleaner or blood shrimp would also do well.
I have a 24g jbj nano cube and have been happy with it

Hi! It's so nice to have a spouse that appreciates the hobby. I can't wait to see how you set up your first tank.

Maybe 1 hermit and 1 snail to start you can always steal from your husband if you need more
I have 1 astrea snail in my 5.5 and 1 small strawberry basslet plus corals thats it

I could see that... drop off an extra astrea for the weekend, and then bring it back on Monday. Talk about slave labor.... better not tell the snails, they'll revolt and start asking for a decent working wage.

Technically, I'm in the office and she's in the living room, but yes, we're both on laptops and chatting with each other... I'm supposed to be writing a paper for philosophy of religion, but this is more fun.
