Well my 10g is empty so I was thinking some live rock and maybe a small fish or 2. I like the neon goby ![]() |

The larger the tank, the easier it will be. That being said, add about 10 pounds or live rock with a powerhead, heater, and lights. You will be able to put only one small fish in a tank that size. You can add a few shrimp, hermits, and snails. The down side will be that you will have to maintain the tank every day making sure it's topped off. If not the water will evaporate and the salt levels will climb. Dan |

So that aside I want to do about 10lbs lr with maybe 1 goby. Suggestions or links to sites about invertebrates? What's a good gph for a powerhead on a 10g? Any suggestions on what salt to use or are they too similar to really matter? Last question right now how much lr should I start with and where can I get a small amount of quality rock? |

Do you have any LFS in your area? I always like to see what I buy. Dan |
