We like to begin by adding 6 or more specimens to a nano tank. That forms the nucleus of your breeding population.

Thank you for a great suggestion! For now we're covering the basics for a newbie tank with soft corals and invert cleaners. We consider this to be an entry level lagoon biotope with low maintenance and lighting requirements. For tanks in the 10-15 gallon range, choice of organisms is very important for long term stability. As stressed in this video we favor captive-bred organisms that are capable of breeding unassisted in the tank, and this applies to fishes as well as inverts.

I was wondering if you are going to go over the number of fish to add to a nano reef based on gallons? I have a 15Gal, and already have a very small yellow watchman goby, 2 blue hermits, 2 bumble bee snails, & a margarita snail. This is a new hobby for me (my 1st salt tank). & I have found your videos to be very helpful & informative. I would very much like it if you could do a video or two on the type of reef safe fish to add for a 10-15gal marine reef tank. Thank you so Much
