3 quick questions

[rbf]

so i have a nano 5 gallon eclipse with a 50/50 10 watt light, and a small powerhead.

I have 2 small reef crabs, a small snail, and some shrooms.

3 questions:

1. how many hours a day do i need to leave the light on for the shrooms.
2. can i stick a coral branded shrimp in here? if not, what else would you recommend?
3. (this is very basic) can i use a magfloat in it to clean it or will it scratch the acrylic? what type of magnet cleaner can i use in it to clean it?

thanks
greg

1. I would run them 10-12 hours
2. Don't see why not
3. You can use a Mag-Float, but only the ones made for acrylic

I wouldnt.. they get fairly large and *may* be aggressive towards other inverts, especially in a 5g.
