Hello,
This is my first attempt at a nano tank. It's a 5.5 gallon with a coralife mini, and right now it has a Whisper filter that is probably too big but I have the flow cut back. I haven't scaped it yet, just planted the plants without regard to where they were going. Plus they need to grow a little. I went through my 75 and got a few of the smaller plants and ones that were floating. They were unplanted for a while and had started growing curved, but I think they have started straightening out. Once the driftwood sinks I'll work on it. One question, is the 18watt light adequate? I know I want ~5 corydoras (pygmaeus or hastatus). Any ideas for a smaller tetra or barb that I could put 4 or 5 of in here? I know that is a pretty heavy load but water changes aren't too tough with this thing. Thanks.
