I can't keep any coral on the floor - my pistol will drag it somewhere . . and the constant digging of the sand and stirring it up. . . some days will be so cloudy because the lil' bugger doesn't like the current tunnels.  Just annoying in general. ------------- http://sukie.mt-wudan.com/ - My Blog |

Wow. 2.5 gallons. It will be tough to keep the water parameters stable. The stocking list looks good to me.

I think I will keep an eye on it for a while. I am getting a liquid test kit that has many tests. How often do you think I should check it Mike?

I think he ment salinity as the big one...I know I'd have a heck of a time keeping a nano topped off! Maybe I am just lazy... Dutch

I would check salinity daily until you get a feel for things. After that then use your own discretion. Maybe weekly?
