Hey guys setting up my first nano not used to working with such a small tank but really wanted a desk tank so I impulse bought one lol.

Tank is currently cycling (Dr Tim's one and only and amoniom chloride) and I'm working on stock ideas and struggling with the size restraints.

Filtration is going to be a lot we got a nuvo fleece roller followed by the nuvo skimmer once cycled I'm adding a chaeto refugium algee barn rocks rings and reds for bio about 10#s live rock and 15#s live sand.

I was thinking a snowflake clown and black ice clown that I will be getting as baby's from a local breeder a helfrichi pistol shrimp and his goby friend cleaner shrimp and assorted snails and hermits for cuc.

I'm pretty well on top of maintenance and religiously do weekly water changes you guys think this is to much perfect or room for more?
 
"by the book" I'd say that 3 would be full tank, but I think there is room for one more carefully selected peaceful fish. Good luck with the tank.

Thank you I appreciate it my other tanks are downstairs but I work from home and figured why not I sit here 40 plus hours a week 😂
 
15 is pretty small. Mine has 9.5g's of water. Those 3 would be my max.
I have 2, Pajama cardinal, transparent cave goby.
30+ mixed reef corals.
Floss, carbon, and 20% wc once a month.
I also dose esv 2part.

Beautiful setup looks great!!!
 
I'd think a Talbot would work with the Clowns. It would add some nice hues of color.

I think the stock you listed would be fine in a tank that size! Some people may skip out on clowns for other fish due to aggression, but I never had any issues with my two clowns in a 20g.

Awesome thank you for the input definitely doing my clowns they've always been my favorite. I was going to introduce them last to give everyone eles time to claim there spots and hope it all works out they've always been fine in all my other setups but again this is my first nano
