10 gallon nano reef

[ReefMad1967]

Here is my 10 gal. nano tank. It has been up and running for about a month. The filtration is a penguin mini but I might consider a small protein skimmer. 50 watt heater, and a 32 watt power compact retro fit light kit. I have 1 skunk cleaner shrimp, a long tentacle anemone, 1 pink cup coral, a hawaiin feather duster, 2 turbo snails, 3 reef hermits, and 15 lbs. of live rock. If you guys would like i dont mind if you rate my tank. I plan on getting a tomato clown, a purple firefish or a bangaii cardinalfish. Thanks!
:D

Don't your PC's heat up the water enough so you don't need a heater?

The tank looks good, I might opt for a little more light, maybe 65watts would be great for LPS or SPS. You cant do a firefish if your tank isnt covered, they jump quite often. A royal gramma would be cool, or a blenny or something.

I'm probably upgrading my light to JBJ or a Coralife pc fixture.

I have choose to buy the custom sealife powercompact/moon lite fixture. It sits above the water and is 80 watts total! Here is a pic!

IF it has only been up for a month I would wait on the firefish, I see a lot of mortality in the purple variety. I love them too, they are beautiful though kind of on the expensive side so a little patience may be rewarded with "live" stock. I'd go with the clown first, my two cents worth may save you 30-40 dollars :wink:
