Changed my mind, I don't think i'm going to do any fish, so that means . . . .
No more anemone, just assorted softies, my lights aren't strong enought for stony corals sadly, but i'm still excited, softies look amazing too. Tank will most likely be full of zoos though :)

No fish???? That decision will not last long. Trust me! I stared at my empty 10 for a couple weeks and said, That's It! I need fish in there now! HaHaHa!
You cant go wrong with clowns!

Hey, so I was thinking after surfing around on the Nano section alot that I want to set up the 10gallon on my desk instead, this will save me money, and I don't have a job so that's good, and it might just allow me to keep some more corals with the light being so close to the bottom. Just wanted your input, personally i'm leaning towards the 10g for somthing new. I wont need to buy any more power heads, because with two filters, one being a refugium, and current powerhead the flow will be excellent, wheras now its very weak. My new lights, and heater too. I'll have a nice deep sandbed, and wow I think I just convinced myself! Input?

do not do the deep sand bed, itll be more trouble than its worth in a nano. if its accidentally stirred, you could send something into such a small volume of water that it can crash your tank.
