I have ten lbs of lr in my ten gal. If you want to keep corals, you might need to upgrade your lighting. As far as inverts, I like cleaner shrimp. Make sure your cycle is finish though. What about live sand?

Well, given the space I would stick with the fish you have. You only have 10 gallons. But as for corals. Look for some mushroom poylps, maybe a tubestria of some sort(sun coral), a colt coral, and xenias. All do not require alot of light and are pretty hardy.
If you get you a nice sand bed and about 12 to 15lb of lr. You could dump that filter.
And yes, I would put a skimmer on that little nano of yours. I'm not sure as to what kind though.

ok for starters the amount of lr you put in your tank is solely personaly preference. if you are wanting to do a reef then it may be of benefit to get more lr because you will have more areas to put corals. i wouldn't get anymore fish. and as for a skimmer i'm not really sure if that's really necessary. i mean it would be pretty hard to find a skimmer small enough for a 10g. you could probably put one of the smaller skimmers like a visi-jet for instance but it would probably take away from your tank.
