Filter for a 10 Gallon

[Ryan]

Well I am getting into SW again. Kinda. I am setting up a 10 gallon tank. This tank is going to be a little different. It is ment to be a Display money tank. The point of this tank is to look good but eventualy pay for its self. No or very little fish will be in it. Mostly soft corals like mushrooms, Zoos and polyps will be in there. Fast easy to grow corals mainly. We have decided to go with a 2 bulb 55 watt PC for lighting, water movement will be done through a water movement manifold made out of PVC. This will go all around the top of the tank and holes will be stratigacly be drilled for flow. All i need now is a filter. I was thinking a AC 500. But do you realy think a filter is necessary. I mean with 10 - 15 LBS of LR and a 1 inch Sand bed would i need a filter for like 1 small fish and a peppermint or cleaner shrimp? WC will be done Bi-weekly a 4 litres will be replaced(roughly an ice cream pale). Fish wise i am not sure yet. I was thinking maybe a blue damsel, small goby or an orchid dottyback. Then a peppermint or cleaner shrimp for inverts. I want somthing that helps the tank whether to cure ich or to get rid of aptasia.. What do u guys/ gals think.
