First Sw, Updated 4/30

After many years of freshwater, I decided to start up a saltwater aquarium with some supplies I had laying around. The only new items purchased were the live rock and the light. It's been up for around a week, I've been adding live rock since.

10 gallons:
-Biowheel 350: No media, just the wheels and two empty media baskets. Using this for flow, 350 gph. I may throw some macro algae and live rock rubble in there.
-Satellite 24" 64 watt compact florescent.
-Small Theo heater
-SG: 1.022, will raise to 1.024-25

Sorry about the angle, but they came out very clear

As of right now, just live rock.

What are you planning on putting in there, stock wise?

A peppermint shrimp, a damsel fish, maybe a small goby, not really sure. We will see what comes up. I need to get some hermits and snails though.

Very nice marine tank looking gr8.

Looks really good!

I've always wanted to set up a marine, but I'm too into freshwater oddballs to try it out.

Who knows, maybe after I get my 55 set up, I'll get a 15 or 30 gallon and try out marine.

Can't wait to see some updated pictures!

Not a bad looking tank Space, though I would get a different camera, yours seems to be taking tilted pictures.

As to your nem, ignore everyone here, it is pathetic. Once it gets like the below, then you can claim to truly own Aiptasia

Thanks Andy. I put the camera on a tilted box for photos to keep it stable. I had pictures of it more level, but they were blurry.

Added 5 more pounds, and a damsel fish. Some new hitch hikers.

Okay, I've decided.

I have an empty 10 gallon in my room, and it's officially going to be a marine.

Your tank looks great!

Makes me wanna go marine like GobyMaster.

Keep in mind... a smaller tank means mistakes are much more prone to happen, and when they do happen, it's more devastating.


Pretty nifty idea with the BioWheel 350, I have one on my 80gal tank; very nice filter, very efficient and quiet. Just gotta get an Eheim canister to help out .

Thanks guys.

Smaller tanks are less stable. A nano tank crashing is far less worse than a large tank crashing, as a nano tank can only have a few specimens. I had no money for a large tank so I had to settle with this.
