10 Gallon Nano Reef Opinions/Suggestions (See Pics)

[Dricker18]

Story behind this tank is I had a 36 gallon tank in my living room downstairs, and was sick of doing all the maintenance in front of everyone watching TV etc. So I downgraded no livestock was lost in the transition, I figured this 10 gallon would be simpler and easier to take care of because I can just buy a 5 gallon bucket of perfect water and it lasts a while. Let me know your thoughts on my small nano reef.

Anyone? Buhler? No thoughts?

You have too many fish. I would only do 1 fish, the firefish, the cleaner shrimp and that's it.

Looks nice! I'd probably move the thermometer off the front of the tank, probably to the back part of one side, and add a black or blue background to the tank. Probably black for the power head and filter to blend in better. IMO you are fine with the fish you have.

Nice and simple set up! I second the suggestion for a black background to hide the filter/powerhead/heater.

Clean and simple setup, but eventually you would upgrade and go bigger again since this hobby is so addictive.

I am honestly more into the nano reef. I need to figure out maintaining good water quality so I can eventually get into a very small SPS reef.

The black background makes it look even sharper! Looks good.
