Suggestions for Stocking a Tiny Tank
While I'm planning a large system, I'm going to start a little 12-14G tank. It seems small to even put a fish in there......
Could you folks give me some suggestions for what I could stock it with aside from the usual LR and LS. I won't try to grow anything too exotic. Maybe some zoa's or a soft coral or 2. A shrimp or two? A crab? What do the experts say?

The smaller the tank the less leeway you will have but it can be done.
You could add some crabs I would say a couple. And you could put a shrimp in maybe a Peppermint or scarlet Red cleaner. For coral you could do say a Sun coral, some Frogspawn, Hammers, Zoa's. All lot will depend on what you have for lights. You will be topping up quite a bit. And you could even go with a neon gobie.

Those nano Fish that Fishytime suggested are great for a nano! I love the little trimma gobies! And I would stock it full of the little shrimp and crabs that go unnoticed in the larger systems! Live those little inverts! There are tones if great options for a nano! Coral - zoas, frogspawn, bubble corals, some really nice fuzzy mushrooms out there, tonnes of options! Nanos are nice to incorporate those little things that disappear in a large tank!

I had put a pistol shrimp/goby pair in my nano when it was set up. They can be a lot of fun to watch. Yasha goby's are very nice looking.
