Hi there

looking good wont be long and it will be full up.

how small does a tankhave to be to be called a nano tank? I would always worry i wouldnt be able to get the stablity in a small tank. Fortunately I have the space for a largish tank. only wish my pockets matched my ambitions in this respect :P

Approx 20g or less is generally considered a nano.

king of the jungle:-
i too have a nano, 5gallon . it's been runnig approx 6-7 mths no probs. i think you'll struggle to keep hermits and snails imo. the crabs will turf the snails out.
i've got live rock and live sand, hermits, a few small softies , xenias, disc polyps, a couple of mushies and 2 v.small orange sponges. and one fijian blue damsel (very bright) and a sand sifting starfish.
i'm shite at this p.c lark i'm waiting for dragon 25(adam) to come round and take some pics to put up 4me. i'll put something next to the tank so you get a perspective of it's size or lack of it. :)
