Best Filter for a 10 gal. Nano

[j0dy77]

I am extremely new to the world of saltwater fish and reefs in general for that matter. I wanted to try and create a small 10 gallon reef through time, patience, and a lot of reading.

 

I was wondering what is the best filter to use for a 10 gallon Nano Reef?

 

How many fish can I usually keep in a tank this size?

 

Where is the best place to find a custom fitted hood to supply lighting for this tank?

 

Thanks everyone in advance for your help, hopefully this new hobbyist can return the favor one day.

as for a filter they are not needed, you use live rock and live sand to filter your tank. however you could use a hob to add flow, also to store carbon when needed. as for lighting in order for us to help you we need to know what types of coral you intend on keeping. don't say just shrooms and softies, because everyone says that. the lighting is expensive and you don't want to buy things twice. also for the filter i would buy a aquaclear 300-500.
