	Starting 10g Nano
N e m o Enthusiast Posts: 280 Kudos: 553 Votes: 11 Registered: 13-Dec-2003	Okay, I got some of the stuff last night, before I got a chance to read the new posts. I got an Aqua Clear HOB Power Filter, and crushed coral substrate. How many inches should the substrate be? Right now it's like 3-4" but I can always take some out. Is a topoff just adding some new freshwater or do I do the 10% s.w. change? Anything else I should do to maintain the tank w/ the clownfish and neon goby? Thanks for your posts! -Nemo

Also you may want to consider a H.O.B. Refugium with like an AC 500. I don't know just seems like it would help. On a tank that size make sure you keep up on top-offs, and maybe make them daily because a little water change is a lot of specific gravity change ina tank that small.

It's nearly instant cycling Definately get some small inverts such as a snail of some sort (possilbly a turbo snail or something?), a cleaner shrimp or 2, maybe a fan crab Definately use a powerhead...the more current, the better. Good luck
