jayare Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hello all, I just got this Azoo 3 liter tank with the HOB filter and 7 watt PC lighting. Any ideas on what to keep in here? I was hoping to keep maybe a small neon goby, but I know it may be too small. How about some small coral frags and a shrimp? Give me you opinions. Thanks, Jesse Link to comment
freakaccident Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 Holy crap thats small. I would vote for a couple lbs of LR, LS, some shrooms, a snail, a hermit crab, and see how it goes. You might be able to do a small neon goby eventually. Turn that HOB into a small ref with some caulerpa growing in it. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 get a lid, those fish are slippery when out of the tank! fwiw, i bought two of those AZOO hob's for a couple of nanos i just setup and one already crapped out. (less than two months) i was a little suspicious so i hadn't really added anything to those tanks, just cleaners. i got another hagen mini to replace the bad one. maybe you can put a sexy shrimp or two there by itself. you wouldn't need the lid then. a little tight tho even with minimal aquascaping. hth Link to comment
Aggie05 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 My LFS has three of those setup. They have a few snails, a peppermint shrimp, some macro, shrooms, and polyps in each. They also have a leather frag. The light is supposedly a 7 watt so it should be fine to keep any of that stuff. But maintenance is a *****. You have to top of twice daily and they do a little water change every day. But I don't think the daily water changes would be necessary. Link to comment
LiQuiD Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 The only problem I see is you either have good climate control where the tank is going to be and have the room temp up to 80 degree or try and find a good micro heater. Otherwise it could lead to problems with temp. Link to comment
mxpro32 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 a store in fresno i go to once in a while has one of those tanks with a peppermint shrimp and a damsel in it, with some shrooms. that filter makes funny noises when it runs and doesnt seem like it would run very long. do they make heaters small enough for a tank that small?

freakaccident Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Use a AC mini and stick a heater in it. Link to comment
coralreefengr Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Where did you get the tank? Link to comment
Dave ESPI Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 not very good for sensetive animals, but you can get away with a decent set up still. FWIW, as long as the temp stays fairly constant, you can keep whatever you want fishwise and polyps. I have a 10 gal tht runs in the low 70's in the winter and near 83 in the summer.. no heater and it is awesome. Link to comment
freakaccident Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Here is another option I just thought of for that small of a tank. Get one of those reptile heaters with a thermostat and put it under the tank. I don't know if they turn down low enough but I would imagine they could. Link to comment
cjm033 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 i have a 8 watt heater if your interested email me or pm me cjm033@aol.com ,Chris Link to comment
freakaccident Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I found a tiny heater at Walmart. It is a little larger than a lipstick tube. Check it out. Link to comment
