Smokin-Reefer Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 I recently aquired a 10 gallon tank w/stand from my grandfather. I currently have a 55g FOWLR tank, but I'm always impressed by reef tanks at my LFS and found out about 'nano reef's' so, I thought I would take my stab at with my 10g. I have read many articles and threads about things, and was wondering if this plan sounds acceptable. -Fill 10g with LS and Water from 55. -Add Live Rock -let sit for around a month and a half, to observe cycle and any possible hitchhikers from LFS LR. Then add things, After I have gotten appropriate retrofit kit for my tank [ any suggestions?] How does this sound? Thanks -dan Link to comment
hhasty79 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Sounds good. I'd get the lighting first, though, to preserve any cool photosynthetic hitchhikers. A 55w PC or so would be fine. Link to comment
MacnReef Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Sounds like your on the right path. Altho, may I suggest a ph or two for circulation? Link to comment
Smokin-Reefer Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 I have an extra penguin 550 that I was planning on using, but I was unsure if it would be too much in the 10g, but obviously not. thanks for the help. -dan Link to comment
MacnReef Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 You guess not? How much flow does a penguin 550 have? I doubt it is but I see a guy put a huge dolphin in a 20h and the water was actually blowing over the side wall! Link to comment
Smokin-Reefer Posted February 8, 2003 Author Share Posted February 8, 2003 I'm pretty sure its around 140gph, I know its not much, so I think it would be appropriate for it. Link to comment
