Thinking about starting nano frag tank

[kaos14]

Hey guys I have been keeping fish for about 20 years now. Mostly Cichlids and we converted our community tank into a plant tank a few months ago. My husband and I have really wanted to do a reef for a while but we don't really have good shops in our area. So we are looking to start a ten gallon coral tank soon. Eventually we plan to have a custom build 80 gallon build in (been getting prices and doing the research). Hopefully when we get around to a custom tank we will be up to the salty challenge. I really miss the one my dad kept when I was a kid.

For now we have a 55 gallon cichlid tank and 55 gallon plant tank, and a very empty ten gallon taking up space in the shed.

Nice to meet everyone I will be stalking the forum to glean information. :evil:

Welcome to R2R. 10 gal tank is challenging because of the small volumn of water and you have limited choice of inhabitants and require more maintance then a large tank.

*Welcome to Reef2Reef, kaos14 !* I started this hobby with a 10 gallon cube myself.I tested water parameters frequently and changed the water once a week.I believe this kept the system healthy while I waited for a upgrade.
