You can get zoanthids, mushrooms, and xenia. That is all. For filtration, a protien skimmer would be best.

I heard protein skimmers are way too bulky for a 10 gallon and really not needed. Aslong as you keep up with water changes and use a good test kit to make sure all the conditions are correct...Also let me know how that 28W lights up the tank...I just bought a 96w quad and it really lights my whole bedroom!...also thought of buyen two 9inch 18w fixtures for a total of 36w...anyone done this? for a 10g that is

On my 10 I have a hang on fuge with a Seaclone 100 as a skimmer. Personally I like using a skimmer even on a 10. The lighting started as 2X28 PC & worked well for softies. I then went with 3X28 & all was good. Now I have a 70W HQI + 1X28PC and am in the process of going to a 150 HQI only. I have heard nothing but great things using the 96W Quad on a 10.

I do a half gallon water change per week. The make up water has 1/2 teaspoon of kalk per gallon and I add a few drops of magnesium per week.
