10 Gallon Nano

[Frederick Edwards]

Hey everyone,

I haven't been around here in awhile and recently taken a contract job in Arizona and my father in law is taking care of 110 back home. I am currently residing in a 34 foot travel trailer and I am thinking of getting a 10 gallon Nano that won't break the bank.
Would love some suggestions please.

A bare bottom tank with Softies and couple fish and inverts?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking.

Keep it simple. Maybe just heater, light, flow and water changes. No skimmer or anything but the water changes.

AIO tank will be nice.

So what would be a cheap AIO or would it be cheaper to buy everything thing separate? And I'm thinking a couple of small aggressive fish, suggestions?

Mantis Shrimp tank would be cool. Or pest anemone tank.

If you are considering a non-AIO tank, I love my AquaMaxx Rimless.

Now that I'm looking and thinking about it, I am gonna stick with the cleaner look of an AIO since I'm restricted with space.

Any of the Innovative Marine Nuvo series will work excellent, they are gorgeous tanks and a good price.

I bought a 13.5G Fluval EVO from Amazon a little over 2 months ago for $149. I've got a small reef setup in it and it's doing great.

Been thinking of a small nano or pico tank with just softies and LPS on the side for fun. I’ve seen some mind blowing small tanks. Can be done very well!

Yeah I am looking at that and the Nuvo 10, but I'm getting mixed reviews on the light for the Nuvo 10 and am reading alot that do not like the light and end up upgrading it, I would like to avoid upgrades.

Skip buying the Nuvo with the light, you can get them tank only ($99.00) and choose what ever light you wish Most people who buy the Fluval 13.5 end up losing the lid and upgrading the light as well anyway.

I'm really leaning towards that EVO, it's calling to me

Nice. What did you buy for it that you needed or think you needed that did not come with it?

Skimmer (not sure if I needed it, but, why not), heater, UV sterilizer, micron filter pad. Removed the carbon and replaced with Purigen.
