wich is better

[butters]

i wanna do a nano 10g with no coral just live rock sand with maybe a starfish lots of snails and hermits of cores and maybe a clownfish or 2 and i wanna now wich is better this filter Power Filter: Bio System Power Filter & Surface Skimmer from Drs. Foster and Smith or just a nano protein skimmer from aquriumguys and im also thinking of having some colorful kelp,Maiden's Hair Plant,Halimeda Plant ,or just some Ulva Lettuce Algae or something that doesnt need high lighting

hmmm better do some research.....no filter is necessary, a couple powerheads and the live rock and the dilligent water changes necessary with a tank this small are all that is needed. Please rethink your livestock choices......2 clowns are too much for a 10g even 1 is maybe pushing it. The only starfish you could or should have would be a brittle or serpent star both which can get very large. A chocolate chip maybe, but not sure of their feeding needs, sand sifter is definitely out as they require a large footprint of very active live sand to sustain their voracious appetite.
