Who knows till you've put it together, but it looks ok.

Lot of fish etc. tho'. I'd have gone to a 20 - lots more options for not much more money

The only thing I see wrong with it, is your lighting choices. For some of those plants, and for co2 to work properly, you will need atleast 3 wpg. With that lighting, you will only have 1.5

seems alot for a 10 gal.
but then I have a 29gal. and got 6 ghost shrimp and only see 3 at a time. (usually just one)
you could get away with just one cory, I only have one right now and he does an excellent job on the whole tank and for just a 10gal one would be enough. 3 Ottos and 2 cories is thoo much, I'd cut that back to 2 ottos and 1 cory.

There is 2 easy way's to get to your 3 watt's per gallon in a 10 gallon tank, you can get a glass versa-top and put 2 18" bulb strip lights on top which is 3wpg exactly. Or, www.ahsupply.com sells a 2x33 compact flouresent kit that works great. And I would use a filter that will move the surface as little as possible if you want to maximize the use of co2. Good luck

Ok Let me update my site with new info.

Thanks for the replys and also you say i need a 30wat bulb?

Also how often should i keep the light on and where is the timmer located on my hood or is it on the bulb? My hood says it has a timmer thing but i cant find it lol sorry im a noob but learning!

That sounds alot like my setup. Personally, I don't think you need 3 ottos. 2 tops, but I've got one. Platies like to have friends around so maybe switch them with another platy or 2.

Those Hagen Plant Grow Natural are wastes of money, you can make your own with a 2 litter pop bottle some sugar and yeast, costs about $5......

way to many fish for a 10 gallon

imo

[cholula]

have at least 3 corys... .they like the company

Get a bigger tank....

 

[sinasster]

the box says its is instant-start, for use with a timer. That means it will start when hooked up to a timer. I by mine at Target for $4.99

Also i may not get a pygmy cory because im going to use a carpet plant so the plants can feed off bottom food!

Also i know i only need 1 oto but he i hate not having friends for fish. In my 30gal their is at least 2 of everything except my red tiped shark.

Also tomorrow is pay day

I will be buying my heater, fluorescent bulb, hagen plant grow natural system with CO2, Flourite, bogwood.

This will coast me around 70-100$ depending on size of bogwood and retailer!

Remeber also it will be heavly planted with bogwood and maby a fake wood log from walmart for hiding places for shrimp. The combo of fish go together well and with many difrent foods for my fish and 30% water changes ever week im sure they will love their new home!
