    I have a 3 gallon deco myself. I have the acrylic one, because it has twice the light as the jbj pico. I do a 2 gallon water change every week. I keep one barnacle blenny in it, a whole lot of hermit crabs, one emerald crab and a peppermint shrimp. I use it to quarantine coral frags. My three year old thinks it is his tank and he feeds it and does the water changes.

    Hopefully the mushroom will survive the cycle, if you even have much of one, I know I didn't but I didn't add coral for weeks. Take it slow my friend, get a good book. The nano handbook is my favorite! Its a gooden. No clownfish now! Clown goby or sexy shrimp is fine! K! Nice start!
