Testing kit for PH/ALK/Nitrites/Nitrates/Ammonia
Salt
water (lots of choices, RO/DI is common)
Net
Heater (50watt should do)
power head for water circulation
lighting (what kind depends on what kind of tank you'll have..)
filter (simple small hang on back will work)
thermometer
you will also basically need an extra bucket with a spare powerhead and heater to mix future water with..
oh and lots of towels!! and some patience!! we all definitly need some of that
he took the words right out of my mouth
and just a fun little thing to have in small tanks (i have a 10 gallon as well) is those small white tubeworms. there fun to whatch grow
usually LFS's are glad to sell you a rock with them real cheap. but there just a fun little easy critter that can live in a 10 gal
