I may be able to help you out, though my weekends are stacking up to be pretty busy for awhile.
Water is really the only thing that needs to go in it, unless you want to create a sump/refugium, in which you can put some macro algae in there, and even sand if you want.
Also its a good place to be able to put your heater, and skimmer if you have one and it will fit (I'm thinking on a 10 gallon probably not) A lot of people will put baffles in there too, which I did have in my old 10gallon sump, but I don't now in my 29. They are really not required.
The goal is to get water from the tank down into the sump, and then water from the sump back to the tank. The overflow is what helps you get it down to the sump, and the pump is what helps it return (thus called a return pump)
Basically as a bare minimum all you are doing is adding some water volume to the overall system, and with such a small tank, that's really the only effect you are getting out of it. Don't get me wrong though, it is still a huge improvement.

Sorry I haven't been on here lately, Joe had a death in the family and will be out of town all week, so we are a little short handed and next I will be out of town. We have some overflow boxes coming in on Thursday. If you need any help getting anything else just call and talk to Dave, he will be glad to help you out while I'm gone.
Thanks, Jeff

Has this weeks order come in yet guys?
Can we special order bulbs through you guys?
Also for an expert opinion, I was looking on aquabid and found someone selling "shore shrimp" and was wondering if you guys know anything about them and if they would be a good buy as feeders instead of ghost shrimp?
Other than that male lamarks I want, can you guys get saddle clowns aswell?

Garvin90,
Yes we got in a carribbean shipment this week.
Yes we can special order bulbs for you.
As fo an expert opinion I need more info on "shore shrimp" that is too vague of a name to identify, if you can find out the scientific name it would really help.
Yes we can get saddlebacks as well.
We can usually get in just about anything as long as our suppliers have it in that week, sometimes we can request something special and they will find it for us. Hope that helps!

check out www.mariculturetechnology.com/NEBS.htm for your shrimp.
i've had them in before, about six/eight months ago. twice the price of ghost shrimp,but they live in saltwater. they will also feed on just about everything, so they make great cleaners/scavengers. i'm not sure how reef safe they are,i never tried. as far as being better for your fish to eat than ghost shrimp, i would guess they aren't much different except for their salt content. i don't think i will carry them again unless i get more customers intrested in them, sorry. joe
as far as the lamarks and the saddleback clowns i will try again this coming week and let you know...

Great, thanks for the info and trying to get the fish for me aswell. When you said this coming week, you were referring to the week we are standing in correct?
Can you guys get in the seagrasses for a lagoon tank? Im thinking about setting up my 40 as one and I will be looking for "the big 4" types.

Thanks for looking Jeff, as I was telling Dave, I'm looking for things like turtle, star and possibly shoal grass. I really dont like widgeon grass at all though.
If anyone doesnt already know, PCPets currently is selling box crabs, a stingray and a mangrove tree "rock". I mention because I know these I dont see normally available... so go support and spend money! Just think, anyone can buy mom jewelry, but how many others could give her crabs?
