You may wanna shoot for more LR...
Min. of 1.5lbs per gallon or more, even if the corals you get are LR you have the nessisarry bio filtration and a good foundation. Here is my newest 10gl

I like your scape. Do those hermits bother your feather duster tubes? The owner at my LFS said hermits sometimes like to pick at the worms and if you're not careful will eat them. Have you had any problems like that? |

Re: 10 gallon reef build
Sorry but off the top of my head I can't remember the type of crabs that tend to do that, but most all hermits are fine. They just go where they please and clean.

Re: 10 gallon reef build
With the 2 gallon water changes, is it enough to drop the salt level and have to mix up a small batch everytime? I only ask because the LFS says that if the water change is less than 20% I shouldn't have to, each time. This will be my first salt water tank and I've read both good and bad things about starting a 10g. But I've got more than enough time each and everyday to take care of and look after the tank. So I figured I'd be just fine.
I have the tank, 10lbs of live sand, HOB filter doing 200GPH, powerhead pushing 158gph, 100w digital heater and I'm ordering a 20" T5 light after I set everything up to be able to house some nano corals. Looking to get the live rock (10lbs) and RO water on Tuesday. Should be interesting to get this one going. Last edited by joeyhatch11 : 10-02-2011 at 08:47 AM. |
