So I setup a eclipse system 3 gallon nano about 3 weeks ago. I fitted a 36w pc light on top, 25w heater, aquaclear 301 powerhead w/ cut nozzle for dispersed flow, and added about 4-5 lbs of live rock. I used live sand and water from my main display so there was a minimal cycle. I currently have small frags of green star polyps, yellow polyps and zoas along w/ 3 cerith snails in it.
My question is if there is no fish to feed in the tank, should i worry about feeding my corals? I prob wont introduce any fish because the tank is so small. I contemplated a clown goby but it would just complicate the simplicity of the tank w/ feeding/filtration/etc.
Also with water changes, would it be best to change out a .5 gallon from my stable and mature main tank or .5 gallon of fresh saltwater?
I'm new to this nano thing and it seems to be doin ok so far, but i dont know what will happen in long term if i dont feed it etc. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'll post a thread w/ pix soon detailing the setup and stuff.
