I have the same predicament! I have my old 10g in my garage taking up space, and I don't know what to do with it. I was thinking a nano reef with maybe a false perc, firefish, watchman goby, etc...

You need to do weekly water changes with a 10g, like 3 or 4 gallons, I actually did 2 when I had one. Also you can't add more then 2-3 fish, I personally would just throw a clown pair in. Also not many coral at all unless you have a skimmer.

I have a 8 gallon biocube reef with 1 fish(used to be 2), and I only do 1 gallon water changes a week and I don't run a skimmer on it. Its been up for more than a year and a half and is doing good. 3-4 gallons a week isn't needed on a 10 gallon tank if there is only going to be 1 or 2 fish with lots of LR and some micro algae.
