New 10g Nano Project

OK, here it is. I am using a 10g tank with 10lbs of tonga and fiji with about 12lbs of LS. I have a heater and a small filtration system to start. No PS yet. I will get one of those later when the tank conditions. I am also going to get a Koralia-Nano here in the next month for it. Otherwise, here it is in all it's (non) glory. No inhabitants yet.

 

nice start! what type of lights are you running?

Oh.....it is laaaaammmmme. It is a coralife 50/50. Not even a PC. I will get better lighting for it later. I just added a hitchhiker from some live rock I got from the LFS a few days ago. A small crab (the type you see in the tide pools at the beach). It burrowed beneath the sand. It has been living in an inch of water in a bucket in my garage for three days. I cannot bear to kill anything!!! I will let it go on my next trip to the beach.

 

What kind of heater is that? Looks like an el cheapo, get a 100 watt stealth heater. Thats what me and my gf use on her 10 gallon with a aquaclear 30. We change out a poly filter once a week and run a half unit of chemi pure elite. Do a gallon waterchange once a month, nitrates and phosphates are 0 with 5 fish. I wouldnt bother with a protein skimmer.

 

Oh, yeah. Thanks. I have been meaning to get rid of that thing. It is definitely e-cheapo. I just checked what I was running for a filter; it's an aquaclear 30.

 

Looks awesome! I would love to start up a small tank, I think the most fun was setting up my 58 gallon.

 

Looks good.. Your off to a great start...

 

hey now, el-cheapo is not allways a bad thing in this hobby......... its just when they break down ;D

Looks real good. It'll look even better once there is inhabitants in it.
