    I would be careful about trying to drill that tank. 10g's are very thin and they break about half (or more) of the time you try to drill them.


    Have you though about a frogfish? They are neat, but the live food is a PITA.

    My cube has 3/8" glass and drilled just fine. With the clean look of a rimless tank, it would be a crime to not hide as much of the workings as possible. Definitely go LED, no heat issues with a small tank. With sps in a tank that small you will probably want a top-off which will add to the clutter if you don't have a sump. Don't forget a fuge with a reverse light period to help maintain you ph levels.

    What are the dimensions of the tank?

    The Aquaticlife mini 115 is producing some nice dark nastiness for me. It kind of grosses me out that I don't run a skimmer in the aquapod now that I have seen what skimmers can take out of the water.
