should i even attempt this???? It was my old spider cage...and i was thinkin i could make it into another tank!!!
I wanna do it right this time like rinsing the sand and dipping everything before i add it.
equipment:
taam rio nano skimmer...scratch that im getting a tunze or a remora lol
jager 50w heater
thermometer
bucket
turkey baster
fish net
tweezers
ive got a sweeper powerhead just chillin
only light i have is a reg florucsent (sp) 18w
do i have to get more of these since i already have a net, tweezers, and tb from my other tank?
Livestock:

goby&shrimp combo ?? any ideas cuz idk?
royal gamma or sm basslet
Is this to much for a 10?
FOWLR tank or reef idk?!?!

For a 10 gallon u can buy corallife self ballasting 20w 50/50 10k daylight/actinic PC bulbs $13 each and they fit typical incandescent screw in socket hoods. Cheap easy lighting for a 10g would be enough for your med-high light requiring corals. Just make sure you don't get very high light requiring corals. Least from what I've read and heard from ppl. I'm new also my 10g has had a fish. For. A week now and all seems well so far ill start adding corals in few weeks. Also I've heard protein skimmers aren't needed for a 10g and are actually bad for a tank that small.

i wouldnt have ran my 10g without a skimmer at all. 10g is such a small volume and a change can come quickly in nutrients. the skimmer helps take out extra stuff to lessen those nutrients.
