Ten gallons

majerah1 · 09-22-2011, 07:56 PM

Can I set a ten gallon up for saltwater and it be successful?If so what could I keep in it?I would love a clown they are very pretty fishes,but I dont know if ten gallons could sustain them like they should be.

Keep in mind this will be a very slow process,I dont have anything for this,except a ten gallon tank,lol.

What types of plants will I be able to get,or will I?

As you can tell I have never had salties,so any advice tips whatever,would be great!

Sure you could. 10 gallon reefs are popular.
But your not going to be able to keep the clowns and such, a 20-30 gallon would be mroe appropriate for those. But here, you can see for youself.
Nano Fish

And with the Reef you'll need 1.5-2lbs of Live Rock.

nice,thanks!I will start piecing things together.Whats the best type of filter for a ten gallon?

Best type of filter for a 10g. Live Rock. You don't need a filter. You could hunt down a nano skimmer, that wouldn't hurt. But if you keep up on your water changes, your filter is not needed. Live Rock filters your water.
