Hello,

I recently picked up a 8 gallon aquaround aquarium. The pictures on all the the websites that sell the tank all display saltwater fish. Well there is no way that would work with the starter equipment. Since it is a round tank it can not have a hang on overflow. I am looking to make a live rock and fish system. I am not looking for corals or anything like that.

Any ideas on how to set this up and still keep it looking nice?

Thanks,

Neal

:welcome to nanotank.

You can do a FOWLR (fish only with live rock) with no problem. You will want around 8-10 pounds of LR and then you will need to choose fish that are the right size for the tank. I am not familar with the dimensions of this tank so I will refrain from making fish suggestions. There is a list of nano fish here on the board in the reef fish section, here is a link to it: http://www.nanotank.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2758

If you are worried about evaporation put a good lid on it or get a auto top off unit. Shrimp are always great choices, maybe a sexy shrimp or two instead of fish?
