Hey all. New the site, but experienced hobbyist. I haven't kept a saltwater in some time, and for my birthday yesterday I received an Aqaureon 10 Gallon Deluxe Starter Kit, some Instant Ocean, chemicals, and some sand substrate.
While these aren't the ingredients I wouldn't have picked out for myself to create a salt water tank, I am going to give it a go. I am going to create and hopefully sustain a 10 gallon tank with ONE Ocellaris clownfish.
My rules to myself are:
1. No additional filtration. The "deluxe" filter claims to be 4 stage, despite it size.
2. No additional lighting. It comes with a full spectrum bulb.
[strike]3. No Liverock. [/strike]
So we're all set up, and with a specific gravity about what's needed, and today/tomorrow we'll be putting a clown in, a hardy one so he can handle the cycle himself.
What do you guys think?
