colormegone Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Lifegard Aquatics Ultra Low Iron Glass Aquarium with Filter, 8.3 Gallon, 11.81" L X 11.81" W X 13.77" H | Petco This is a great option for under 10 gal. tank in my book. This is what I just got in and it's a great tank. I'm still collecting parts and waiting for my house to sell before I start mine up. Good Luck Quote Link to comment

stingray72 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 ok so could i make up for it with more gallons per hour filtration? Also im thinking an orbit marine nano led system would be in order for the 10 gallon. Quote Link to comment

Staticmoves Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 if you have not checked it out, these guys post some great videos. don't get caught up in the product hype. but they do some great test and research on setting up new tanks. I highly recommend. Quote Link to comment
stingray72 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 or i can do a Lifegard Aquatics 9.98 Gallon for alot less 170 with filter and light....how could i take care of a protein skimmer though? Id need that for live coral right? Quote Link to comment
stingray72 Posted January 30 Author Share Posted January 30 i did my research on the protein skimmer so it basically isnt needed from what i read. Quote Link to comment

stingray72 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 heres where i got some of the ideas to build this tank. Quote Link to comment
TFish77 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 All you need in regards to filtration is a hang on the back filter and regular water changes. Keep it simple. 1 Quote Link to comment
