Plans for an All-in-one Nano

[Ragman Jones]

In the Next Month or two, I'll be all done moving into my new house and hopefully working. Im going to put some money off to the side for a 10 gallon All-in-one Nano with a foam/rock background.

Stuff I have:
10 gallon tank
egg crate
silicone
Beckett Pond foam
Glass lid

Stuff I'll be getting:
Economy 4 stage RO/DI unit 75gpd (costs half as much as the regular ones, which is big for me. heh)
Koralia Nano (240 GPH)
10lb Base rock (cooked)
2lb Live rock ( 1lb for seeding DT and 1lb fuge rubble)
Instant Ocean Saltwater mix
Carib Sea Aragonite Reef Sand (1- 1 1/2 bed)
2 bulb 18" T5 lighting (one blue one white)
Skimmer (Thinking about just going with surface skimming)
Epoxy resin
Test kit

Stuff I'll be keeping:
1 Fridmans
1 Pistol shrimp / black ray goby pair
Zoos
GSP
zoas
Maybe a Monty cap (?)
CUC (ofc. lol)

Hows this looking so far?

What do you have for lighting? For a reef it is really important.

Sorry Ragman missed it. You should be fine but don't get into real high light corals or anemones.

 

[Ragman Jones]

No worries ^_^
lol

I plan of having some small Polyps and (?)maybe(?) a Monty cap.

 

[WaterKeeper]

Just do a little research and obtain moderate light corals or inverts.

 

[Ragman Jones]

Yep. Been researching for about 2-3 months now. Been Going to the lfs and asking them show me how everything works so I know how to properly use it. So I dont screw something up. lol

I think it sounds good!

This may soud like a stupid question, but why do you need a glass lid?

 

[Ragman Jones]

Personal preference. U just like glass lives over plastic hoods.
