54lt stocking

Hello everone ive got a 54lt tank not doin much and im thinking about turning it into a home for my perc clown and a royal gamma with cleaner shrimp and a trumpet soft coral, and maybe some zoanthids is this to much in a 2ftx1ftx1ft tank?

A 54l (15-gal) tank is too small for a Royal Gramma but would be barely adequate for a small clownfish (or pair). That lighting should be adequate for some soft corals, especially in such a shallow tank.

Good luck!

As far as fish are concerned, a 15-gal (54l) tank is large enough for small gobies and it's just barely large enough for a pair of Amphiprion percula or A. ocellaris. Nano tanks are difficult when it comes to fish.

You could also think about turning it into an invert tank, with shrimp, etc...
