What are the dimensions of the 10G ?

you are ideally needing an absolute bare minimum of 15G per F8 puffer and that is why on the 10G suggestions, from the link listed above, you don't find the option of keeping one F8.

Before you rush into anything be sure to make a post in the brackish section of the forum as you will not find a better resource than Neale Monks who is an expert in this field
