Here a little bit bout my tank

2.5 aqueon mini bow front
AC30 filter with chemipure elite, filter floss and some LR rubble
PAR30 light fixture
marina 10 watt heater
3 or 4 pounds of LR

Fish:
yellow clown goby
misbar maroon clown fish

Inverts:
2 nasarius snails
1 hermit crab
1 asterea snail
1 emerald crab

Corals:
2 acan (idk the names specifically)
Flower/Ricordia Green mushroom
Galaxia
Tubbs polyp
Lavender mushroom

Other stuff:
chaeto algae


Its been running this tank for about 7 weeks.. Idk why but i really like this tank more then my other tanks..I do about 1 gallon water change every week and i top off the tank with RO water when my water evaps.. I Have mini algae break outs here and there but a water change and it take care of it.. I feed my fish and inverts about 3 times a week with mysis and some little nori sheets and dose it with calcium and micro vert and phytoplankton and coral vite.. I knw my tank is overstock with the amount of live stock i have but everything in my tank seems to be doing good. So i just watch them to see but if anything happens I have larger tanks to compensate for my fish when they get too large for the tank..(my 29 gallon biocube). Oh and regarding my clown and goby.. i was a little hesitant when i had him in there but for some reason my maroon clown dnt mess with him so im pretty happy.. I just check daily to see if there is any aggression or what not.. but so far everything is ok.. And also this is my mini copepod breading zone.lol Leave me a comment and let me knw what u thnk guys.


thanks for looking
jeff

Cute and all, but when that baby maroon grows up in a few weeks and can't even breathe anymore in that tiny tank, do you have a new home ready for it? Sorry man, but ANY fish in a tank that tiny is likely too much fish.
