I wouldn't say it was strictly necessary to put supplemental lighting over your tank. You certainly wouldn't need it for growth and a 8-10 hour photoperiod with either a 14K or 20K halide bulb should give you good colouration and growth.

The only think you need to worry about is evaporation.

Ok thats good news that i dont have to spend more money on some blue lights. But i have no idea about what to look for in a chiller. Like what power do i need maybe u could suggest one that i should use. i dont want to go overkill with it and waste money on one thats too powerful and have the tank b too cold.

Cheers, Ian

Iceprobe is one to look into, I would see if I could drill into my HOB filter and mount the probe there.

For a second there I thouhgt you'd somehow fit a yellow tang into a 10g... Looks like a fun little project, though!

Hahaha I knew someone would get a little mixed up. Idk y but I can't seem to post or upload my pictures directly to he page hmmmm.... And ya this little tank is pretty fun. I just hope I can still do homework in my room and not be distracted by it lol. And another plus is that the only things I'll have to buy r the light, corals, fish and maybe a chiller or a fan!!!!! Anyways I'll probably add some more pics today with LR and sand.

Cheers, Ian
