Well I'll have a combined total of 52W of light out of the (2) 2X13 bright
kits. The lfs guys told me that would be plenty over such a small tank to
raise even the corals that need stronger light. I read somewhere that
clowns will use other things besides anemones as a host if there is not an
anemone available. That is why I was going to choose the green frogspawn.
Maybe I just haven't done enough research on this. Also I read some places
where people had 3 fish in a 10gal nano. Another thing I need to research
into more. Hrmmm... If I increased the max water volume by adding a sump
would that allow me to have the 3 fish? Or is it just to small a space?
OR
would a 15H tank allow me to keep the 3 fish?
Btw thanks for all the help. -Chris

Also, don't get clowns if you aren't going to have an anemone for it. And
you can't have an anemone under low light. You would need at least
80-96Watts (perferably metal halide)

Alright, I'm wanting to start a 10gal. nano reef. I've been doing
research
on this
for the last few days, and I went and looked around at stores this
afternoon. All the stores I went to had different opinions about what I
need and how to go about doing this right.
Basically I figured I want a few easy to keep corals. The frags I saw I
liked were green frogspawn and some assorted zooanthids, and some green
polyps.
The fish I want are a mated pair of false percula clowns and a tiger
jawfish.
Everything in the tank will be:
- 2 clowns
- 1 jawfish
- 3" DSB (carib sea aragonite premium reef floor)
- plenum (plans at garf)
- the corals mentioned above
- 16 pounds of LR (cured Fiji I believe)
- a powerhead to stir the water (Any advice on this?)
- a 50W submersible heater (I haven't found an ebo jager around here.
I
see people seem to like those best, any other good ones?)
- The lights will be two deluxe 2X13w brightkits from ahsupply.com one
set
actinic the other 10000k white bulbs. I will put these on two timers
to
simulate dawn/dusk
- Clean up crew. (Not sure on this either. Suggestions?)
and that should be it.
Anything I forgot?
Comments on extra equipment I could use?
Is this combination possible?
Thanks for your help. -Chris
