Hey guys,
I'm in the process of selling off my 140g setup; I'm doing a MAsters degree now and I've been SUPER busy with that. So I've been thinking of starting a little 10g or less nano/pico to keep my interest going in the hobby.
Some things I've got laying around:
2 maxijet 400s
1 maxijet 1200
Tunze DOC 9002 skimmer
Of course my lighting is WAY over powered for something this small since it's 4' T5s and 250w halides.
I'm thinking to keep a couple frags of some of my SPS, including a purple monti cap, and a tricolor acro, and another bali aquaculture acro. Not thinking of including any fish in the tank. Just sand, a few rocks, and some corals.
So the questions are:
- What kind of lighting would work best for this?
- What kind of tank would work best for this?
- Do I need to run a skimmer?
I have plenty of ingredients to make RAndy's 2 part for my CA/Alk makeup.
Topoff I can accomplish through the myriad of float valves I have, my aqualifter, or even my calcium reactor dosing pump.
Just trying to keep it REAL simple and light weight so I have SOMETHING that will last me until I'm done my degree and have the time to do "the next big thing".
Thanks!
Tyler
