    Hey everyone, just started cycling my 10 gallon tank with some live rock. Just wondering what kind of ideas you guys might have for what to put in it??
    I'm open to all ideas!

    Thanks again.

    What do you have for lighting, flow, and filtration?

    1x koralia 1
    1x heater
    1x hang on back filter (works with 10-30 gal tanks)
    2x piece of live rock
    2x damsels to help cycle (will most likely take them back after tank fully cycles)

    Going to get t5 lighting later (most likely in December when I have more money).

    A setup for dwarf seahorses would be cool. If you do that you're limited to other tank-mates, and water flow. I have done it a few times and it's pretty cool to have. I had a 10 gallon with shrooms, rics, zoas, pulsing xenia and Hawaiian feather dusters. I started with about 4 pair of dwarf seahorses, and in a few months I had a couple generations worth.

    They also require newly hatched brine shrimp..

    And you would defintely have to get rid of those damsels.

    Ya that would be pretty interesting. I'll research on the seahorses.

    I'm also wondering what kind of fish or corals that I could possibly fit into this tank?
    I am thinking of getting a clown (don't know what kind yet though) and also a blood shrimp.If that is possible?

    and I'm definitely going to get rid of damsels after cycling is complete.

    Get some type of goby. Some stay really small, are cute, and have good personalities. Can't wait to see what you get!
