Sleepy Fingerling Posts: 31 Kudos: 37 Votes: 5 Registered: 06-Oct-2005	Hi, Im seriously considering setting up a 10 gallon nano reef tank. I was wondering what you guys think is the best combination of corals and fish. Btw im a noob th Sw, and im just now trying to get into it. Any opinions are apreciated. Btw. im planning on not running a protien skimmer on this tank because of its size. Thanks

I regret ever doing my 11g tank, so many water changes its not funny

When you calculate the displacement for the live rock and sand and stuff you'll be lucky if you have 5 gallons of water to work with. -Ferret [img src='/images/forums/halo.gif' border=0] -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

Pick one small fish and if you keep up on water quality you can do it. Personally though in a tank that small I wouldnt add any livestock except for corals/inverts.
