Try this website for fish suggestions, there's a nano section
here

I have a firefish & a very tiny wrasse, the firefish is almost getting too big though. Chromis tend to get pretty big

You can also get interesting inverts like pom pom crabs or sexy shrimp

If you check out the vendor forum on Canreef, you'll find several local stores in the lower mainland that you can visit and ask lots of questions and get great prices on many of those fish you mentioned. Those gobies would probably work, research their food requirements though and be sure to get ones that are easy to feed. The court jester goby is also known as the Rainford's, I had one, it didn't last long as it wouldn't eat frozen food.

My AP12 looks fish full with a 1" perc and a 2" Pseudochromis fridmani http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.u...article_id=192

I had to donate my 1.75" clarkii as he was just outgrowing the tank. The small perc and fridmani make a great pair. One dominates the top or open water column and the other darts in and out the LR which is sorta in a big pile in the centre of the tank. Three Sexies and assorted CUC.

Besides the requisite zoos and shrooms I have polyps, pulsing xenia, a frogspawn, ricordeas and GSP under stock PC lights(54w).

GSP would grow in a shoe box methinks.

thanks guys, im probably only going to get zoas, mushrooms, and rics and if you could mention one center peice coral that would be great

as for fish im having trouble deciding on getting a Hi Fin Red Banded Goby or a Two Spot Goby but im leaning towards the hi fin for gobies, and im not sure on what open water fish to get, either a royal gramma or a pair of ocellaris clowns and a Peppermint Shrimp and a pom pom crab

how would that work out?

thanks,
alex

You can check out nano-reef.com you will be able to get a lot of info on nano reef keeping, and can also see what a lot of other people have done with their Bio Cubes specifically for more ideas.
