10 gallon build

[jonp]

Thinking about breaking down my 90g and setting up a 10g. Some of the stuff from my 90g will be going over to the 10g (Clown Pair, rock, etc.). I plan on getting rid of my 2 Koralia 2's and 1 Koralia 4 and replace them with 2 Koralia Nanos. What would be a good filter for a 10g (3 fish max, soft corals, no skimmer)?

I think 2 fish would be max actually, but your clown pair would probably love it. As for a filter what about like HOB fuge, something like a ac110 or ac70 even? You could take out the wheel thingy and replace it with macro algae. The 2 koralia nanos will be plenty of flow, sounds like a nice set-up.

I was thinking about a HOB filter converted to a small "fuge." Trying to keep this as simple as possible.

Forgot to mention, the light that will be over the tank is a 20" Coralife 96 watt 4-1 bulb fixture.

That'll work

Well got everything moved over. Was using chaeto as a macroalgae filter but feel it's not the best. What else could I use? Right now I'm using AC30.

 

[freeborder_01]

if you made the filter into a refugium would you take out the filter pad aswell?

 

[jonp]

I took out both filter pads as the AC30 isn't that big.

For that AC30, don't bother with a fuge... just put a bag of rowaphos in there and a chemipure bag. Put macro algae in the display tank..

 

[subielover]

Rotary-Why would you need rowaphos and chemipure elite, the chemipure already has ferric oxide?
JonP-The tank is looking really nice, now start stocking that baby up
