10g Mini Reef

[ihasanzongi]

i just got a free 10g from a friend of mine, i was wondering if this would work just for a live coral? i always wanted one. i dont think i would have anyfish in there if i got any i would want a clownfish i think i'v read that some types of them stay small enough for a 10g?

You could keep A clownfish in a 10g imo. What kind of coral were you thinking of keeping??

Yeah, you have to wait for your live rock to cure, you should wait for your cycle to occur before adding any livestock. Sorry dont know what sites ship to canda, maybe someone else can help you with that. BTW what kind of lighting do you have?

have a few more months of research before you start the tank i would say, especially until you start a reef tank.


Depending on what corals you may need a lot of light.

Yeah, definitely look into some books or researching on internet and forums before starting your reef aquarium. If your lighting is somewhat close to 15 watts then I would surely upgrade your lighting if you are looking into keeping lps and softies. If you want some nice looking corals, (like you posted before a brain and hammer), they mostly need moderate lighting, and i dont believe 15 watts is sufficient enough..minimum to moderate lighting is 3-5 watts per gallon

 

[Musho3210]

watts per gallon is as unhelpful as oddysea customer service.

Look into 70 watt Mh lights, those would be good for lps dominated tank, they go for about 150 dollars.
