go for the refractormeter they are way more acurate, which is very important especially in a nano,

oh, personally i dont think that will be enough flow, i have 2 canister filters rated @ 300 gph in my 18 gal, and theres noooo way thats even enough flow, looking for a sieo 620 to drop in there as well,

Hi again,

Got back from Holidays last week and made it in to Gold's today to pick up my Live Rock and a few other goodies (great people at the store there, first time I'd really spent any time there!), got the tank set up tonight and it looks good so far! I'll try to post some pic's tommorow!

Hey S;ick,

Here is what I did with my 10, built on a budget.

Ok, as promised here are some shots.

A couple of notes, it's still dusty in there because I just finished rearranging the rocks again. I know the glass is dirty and apologize in advance, I'm a terrible digital photographer still so bear with me!

What you're looking at is my ten gallon, with about 16lbs of live rock, an aquaclear mini filter, an eheim 1140 (300gph) powerhead, heater, and DIY light set. Constructive criticism is appreciated so let me know what you think!

So here are the lights:

It's so bright the camera has trouble until I zoom in:


Just the actinic


So, what do you guys think? Any suggestions? A big thanks again to the guy at Gold's that helped me out yesterday, didn't catch his name but I sure appreciated all the help and advice!

I think that tank will look pretty cool once the substrate settles. Invest in a $10 digital thermometer. They're worth it.

I would stack up some of the smaller pieces of live rock, try to make an arch, and open up some sand space in the front.
