    What is something cool and cheap that I could do with a ten gallon? I have the tank, a small HOB power filter, and a heater and I could easily pick up a bit of rock.

    mantis tank seems to be popular. I would do a goby shrimp pair tank with some cool corals.

    My first thought was a planted Sea Horse tank.

    I like steve's idea..i think a small tank with nothing but zoas covering the rocks would look really good

    If you need any help or advice with your nano let me know. In this size tank zoas are the easiest to care for, and have fluorish! A zoa tank would be sweet! Now you must take may pics!

    I wasn't really thinking nano reef. I was thinking more nano FOWLR, which I guess would make this the wrong forum. Sorry moderators...

    I was considering just setting it up with a few pounds of rock and putting in a damsel or two. I've always liked damsels but they won't fly in a reef or seahorse tank...
