Fishboy367's 10 Gallon Reef

I have kept freshwater tanks for a few years and I've decided to take the plunge into saltwater tanks and I have a ten gallon lying around and I don't have a bigger tank that I can buy so that's all I have to work with. I will be doing fowlr for the first couple of months so I can get used to keeping fish and inverts but I am confused on what type of lighting I should get for my reef I'm thinking about getting some easy lowlight corals. And also I have some dry rock which is uncured can I just cure it in my tank while it cycles. Thanks!

 

Hope this helps!!!

 

Thanks, that was a helpful thread I think I will not use the dry rock I have and get already cured dry rock

 

Heres a link to my thread, Easy Reefing, Reef,fowlr. For The Beginners/minimalist its all basic stuff might see something helpful though or get some inspiration my first sw was a 16g

 

So do I have to hang the light and if so how many inches

 

No I started with a blue and white nicrew led, then upgraded them to an Arcadia marine. The 32g I got a high power that you hang.

 

So would that blue and white led work for a 10 gallon?

 

Yes you don't want a big light on a 10 gallon + how much are you going to spend?

 

Around 40-60 dollars

Also if it's on amazon it would be eaiser to get

 

Dont know where you are uk,us or what ever but look for Arcadia stretch marine,
it cost me £35 and it did me good in the 16g reef, its great for small tanks.

 

Ok thanks I will be looking for that and thanks for all your help
