New to the hobby, 10g. Finally Coral!!!!
A little preamble to my build. Saw my brother in laws tank and instantly fell in love with it. Since im very busy with 2 hockey playing kids decided to start small with a 10g build and make sure I can handle the time requirements. Huge thanks to Paddyob, brother in law, who either supplied me with or brought me everything needed to start up. A few pics will follow.
Coralife 96 watt quad tube light. Aquaclear 30 filter Approx 15lbs Jakarta live rock Bio-Sea Marine mix salt Aragonite aragamax select sand Seachem prime conditioner.   Any comments or suggestions would be great. Again huge thanks to Patrick without who i never would have started. Last edited by Wannabe; 04-22-2011 at 07:14 PM. Reason: New additions

I am just glad after 3 years you finally got your feet wet! Ha ha!
Can't wait to see the progression!

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

Clean up crew.
Up till about 2am last night doing research so im thinking after my tank cycles a clean up crew is the next step. Looking at Bumble Bee and Margarita snails. Blue leg hermit crabs and either cleaner or peppermint shrimp. Any suggestions or comments greatly appreciated. Not sure what the local shop has but JL seems to be reasonable. Any locals from Regina with suggestions?

Snails
nassarious For sand definitely. Astrea Are fine as well. i actually meant mexican trochus (Spelling?). the mexicans are my favorite. great color on shell and face. fast movers too. would never be without them. turbo may get big but one or two small ones are ok.
