Thinking of starting a 10gal nano

[2e0raf]

Hi i have a 10 gal tank with 2 goldies. and i am toying with the idea of turning the tank into a nano tank.

the question is what would i need in terms of filtration. i have a protine skimmer and i also have a external fluval 305 filter??

for filtration about 10-15 pounds of live rock with a couple of strong powerheads.

What type of protein skimmer do you have, and out of curiosity why do you have a protein skimmer with no salt tank lol?

i was given a comple\at marine sw setup by my uncle who had becom dishartend when all his fish died up so i have a 20 gal tank with two huge packets of salt 2 protine skimmers a peak aquatics cylinracal one and a prizam hang on a hydrometer and a fluval 304 external filter that is running on my rresh water setup. unfortunatly at the tank is a wrid corner tank i have noware to set it up so it is gathering dust under the stairs.*thumbsups

I just started a 10 gallon nano also. I am really excited. I think that I am going to buy an aqua c remora skimmer. Is that overkill? and I also want to buy a coralife quad pc. is 96 watts too much for a 10 gallon nano?

what atype of aqua -c? seems over kill to me.

light looks good though

after talking to the LFS I decided to not buy the Aqua C remora. I decided to buy a Current USA Fission Nano-Skimmer. I figured that if it doesn't work that well I can always upgrade and I would have only wasted $30.

you have some nice looking pieces of LR there...do you plan to get more? or leave it as is?

yes very nice tank

I may get another small piece, but have not decided yet. I will be adding some corals later this week.

great endorsement for live aquaria

I added some more livestock to my tank yesterday.
I purchased:

• Red & Black Starfish
• Nano Soft Coral Pack: colony polyp, tree coral, a mushroom coral (not sure what kind), and a Toadstool Mushroom Leather
• Cleaner Shrimp

Sadly the red & black star fish didn't make the night but after checking the water parameters I called up Live Aquria and they send they will ship out a new star immediately. No apparant cause as of yet, H2O looked good. Maybe it was a suicide.

Tank is coming along nicely now. Will update photos shortly.
