Nano tank tips?

[MadScientist]

Hey forumers,

I had just set up a 12L nano tank. My intention is to place corals with fish in. Any advice?

Use a fan to keep temp down, top-up water often.

Need to check your NO3 level often, as small water volume accumulates faster. Meaning that you will need to do frequent water changes.

Less livestock in a small 12L tank, your bio filteration might not be able to sustain high bio load. Unless you take extra effort to redesign the flow of your water circulation system to force them through large column of bio-balls, coral chips or other bact growth media.

haha, i have a eheim pro square canister running as my filter, i hope it can handle the load.

if i use fan to cool the water, would the salinity change be very dramatic?
