my ten gallon reef!

[its>salty<]

when i first started saltwater it was on my 75. i have since taken that down and have began to start it over again only to do rays but in the mean time to keep my busy. i set up this regular old ten gallon so let me know what you think.

everybody says that it looks bigger but its really not. that is the entire tank. i have a koralia 1 in there and a small filter. you can kinda compare the size between the cleaner shrimp and the feather duster. and thank you for the comments. any suggestions on stuff that may look good or anything is in consideration

looks cool! like the aquascape!
What kind of lights are you running?

 

[its>salty<]

i started it with a 96w 50/50 becuz i got it for 10 bucks and wasnt using it but recently switched it to a 65w 50/50 because it was the light that actually fit the tank

Looks great! what are you doing for filtration?

 

[its>salty<]

my only filtration is the live rock. i have a small hang on filter for a ten gallon that had a carbon cartridge in it but i took that out and through a few pieces of rock back there but i have quite a bit of rock in my tank that is acting as my filtration. the filter is more for moving the water as well as my koralia

How are your nitrates?

 

[its>salty<]

nitrates-5
nitrites-0
ammonia-0
ph-8.4
calcium-475
and i recently ran out of my alkalinity test s i will have to get back with that. the only thing in my tank that i dose is b-ionic for the alkalinity and calcium. everything else is run by it self and the usual monthy water change
