Hello all,
Well I am looking for something different and the saltwater stuff is always so interesting. Not that I am bored with my 55G and 10G freshwater but another tank is always nice. So anyways, I was wondering if it would be possible to run a small reef tank in a 10G tank. The Petco by me has a killer deal on the Aqueon Deluxe kit for 50 dollars. Although I know nothing of saltwater other then what I have been able to read of the past few days.
So first would it be possible to run a reef tank in a 10G tank with a 15 watt T8 bulb?
If it is then from what I have read you would need to add the live sand and some live rock and wait months before being able to add fish.
Then once it has completely cycled I could add fish but would there be any fish that would fit in a 10G tank?
Would you need to run a skimmer on a system this small and is a system this small even worth it? I would love something bigger but I am low on space and the wife will probably squash this idea anyway but I will convince her sooner or later.
Thanks.
