I'm fairly new here, just started a tank about 2 months ago, but from what I've learned so far I think you may have too many fish for a 10 gallon. I see in you pics 2 perc clowns, 1 yellow-tail damsel, and I think that looks like a goby? With a 10 gallon tank you should probably stick with only 2 fish at max. You probably wouldn't want the damsel in with the clowns anyways, I hear they get pretty territorial and could go after the clowns. Hope that helps some.

Maybe you should find out what kind of lighting you have and if it's enough to support the coral you are adding???

yeah you should only have about 2 fish in there. The damsel is really mean, so keep an eye on him...he could kill your clowns. Your tank looks really nice! I love the aquascape.

I use the magnet thing too, works good, but I also use a scrapper at the bottom by the sand. (I don't want sand to get in the magnet thing).

if the sand gets in the magfloat its very simple to get out, though it could scratch the glass if a small chunk is left in it, I really like how you have you rocks set up.. :joy:
