go for lps corals, most of them need no special lighting and are real hardy..
something like star polps and pulsing xenia, are a good starter coral.

sponges are not a good choice.. if they die off for any reason they give off toxins.also make sure they never come in contact with air, as this clogs their pores and they will suffocate.

i run my tank on flourescents..
i have
pulsing xenia
green star polyps
metalic star polyps.
white star polyps.

Eclipse System 12 Aquarium Kit - 12 Gallon $98.99 The Eclipse System Twelve provides a unique combination of beauty, precision and 3-stage total filtration efficiency for freshwater or marine aquariums. It is a fascinating showpiece for your home, office, or anywhere. The Eclipse System Twelve provides filtration, lighting and maintenance. It is easy to install and operate. No tubing or noisy air pumps are required. The included twelve gallon, curved front aquarium is made of injection-molded acrylic and it is designed and crafted to provide 360 degrees of clear viewing enjoyment. In the Eclipse 3-stage filtration system, water is pumped from the aquarium through the filter cartridge and then to the patented BIO-Wheel at the certified flow rate of 150gph. This ensures 100% water-to media contact without bypass. The hinged Access Panel opens effortlessly for easy feeding, maintenance and quick media changes. The Eclipse Filter Cartridge supplies both mechanical and chemical filtration. For mechanical filtration, there's a polyfiber filter pad to trap dirt and debris like uneaten food and fish waste. For chemical filtration, each cartridge is packed with Black Diamond Premium Activated Carbon. Chemical Filtration uses activated carbon to adsorb dissolved pollutants which can cause discoloration and odor. Biological Filtration is the most important kind of filtration. It depends on a culture of bacteria to help get rid of ammonia and nitrite that build up in aquarium water. The bacteria changes the harmful ammonia and nitrite into harmless nitrate, which is removed with a partial water change. The patented Eclipse BIO-Wheel is the undisputed best when it comes to biological filtration. As the BIO-Wheel rotates, it contacts water and air and provides bacteria with oxygen they need to grow, flourish and remove more ammonia. Because the BIO-Wheel is a wet/dry biological filter, it provides bacteria more oxygen than any underwater biological filtration. More oxygen means more bacteria working many times harder to keep your tank ammonia-free and sparkling clean.The BIO-Wheel never clogs and never needs replaced. It requires virtually no maintenance.

There is a new growing popularity in the reef keeping hobby called Nano Reefs. As the name implies, a nano reef is a reef aquarium on a small scale; 2.5 to 29 gallons. The price of a nano reef is also on a small scale, from the tank itself, the lighting, and it takes less live rock and corals to make a very dramatic reef display.

It was often thought that the bigger the aquarium the easier it would be to keep the water parameters stable. You could not keep corals alive without a massive trickle filter, large efficient protein skimmer, and powerful metal halide lighting lights. The bigger the aquarium the more gadgets you could add to make the water quality pristine, from ozone generators, redox meters, ph controllers, and calcium reactors. You had to be a marine biologist and a chemist to maintain a coral reef aquarium. The nano reef aquarium would seem to go against all these principles. Can we really keep corals alive in a 10 gallon aquarium with no sump filter or a protein skimmer?

What has been learned through the years more than anything is, most of the biological filtration occurs in the live rock and live sand. Lighting has also played a role in enabling the reef aquarium to become smaller with the advent of power compact fluorescent and the smaller HQI metal halide lamps. Having invertebrates that sift through and clean the live sand and live rocks ads to the ecological balance of the tank. Most of the trace elements are replaced through a strict regiments of 5% weekly water changes. There is yet to be a salt water mix that has adequate calcium and strontium levels for good coral growth and these elements should be maintained separately.

The best products to maintain calcium, strontium and other trace elements are made from aragonite, such as AragaMilk from CaribSea. So what is aragonite? Aragonite is fossilized coralline algae that has extracted minerals from the ocean to grow. Grinding aragonite into a fine powder and adding water creates a milky substance that precipitates quickly adding these minerals to the water naturally. Add a few drops to top off water to maintain calcium levels at 450 ppm. You will be amazed at the growth rate of SPS corals. Yes I did say SPS corals that can be easily maintained in a nano reef aquarium.

Fish For The Nano Reef Aquarium

Fish are a great addition to a nano reef, but you must take extra care of you nano. You will have to be sure to keep up with your water changes, because a small body of water can collect nitrates quickly. The following fish are nano reef safe: anthius, true and false percula, banggai cardinals, pajama cardinals, royal grammas, fire fish, clown gobies, pseudochromis, basslets, and most damsels. While you are not limited to just those fish, these are hardy and good for beginners. Keep the number small from 1 to 5 fish depending on the nano aquarium size.

Cleanup Crews For The Nano

A good cleanup crew will keep your nano reef running smooth, and free from algae, detritus, and other unwanted wastes. Commonly kept cleanup crew critters are red leg hermits, red tip hermits, sand sifter starfish, sand sifter gobies, turbo snails, and astrea snails.

Corals For the Nano Reef

There are may corals that are compatible with the nano tank. Soft corals would include zooanthids, zenias, star polops, and mushroom anemonies. Lps corals would include Fox Coral and Blastomusa. SPS corals do well with metal halide lighting. Acroporas and montiporas are the easiest to grow in a 24-29 gallon nano aquarium. SPS coral frags are the way to go in a nano reef. They are much cheaper and easier to ship. The benefits of buying corals online is the greater variety that cannot be found at your local pet store. Buying several items from the same seller can reduce shipping costs. Simply use some Marineland’s Hold Fast, which is a two part epoxy similar to plumbers epoxy, to glue the coral frag to a live rock. Be sure to give them plenty of space for growth.
