|  check out nano-reef.com I just found the site and am looking into starting my own nano reef in a 10g. I would ask some questions but I did read that you can put clown fish in a 10g. 2 of them. But if you have a damsel then prob just one. They also have a list of all the corals and stuff that are good in nanos. hope this helps. I realy dont know a whole lot about it myself. How did you set your 10 up. and how long have you had it. Lev

| damsels are to aggressive to be kept with much of anything in a 10g....in fact, two fish is going to be the max in a ten gal and many times one will be the limit depending on what you have...to keep a pair of clowns you will need a mated pair as they are fairly agressive with each other

| kato. thats cool. I was out today and just about got some live sand and started my new tank... But LR is so expencive. So Im going to wait another month i think. Im still working on my other tank. I cant find the lights I need anywhere in town here. I guess no one in the midwest needs Daylight bulbs. If you want to have corals you need alot of light. Even in a 10g. it seems there is not watts per gallon rule. 50-96watts is what I have seen some people put on theres. And it has to be white and a special blue light that they use too. At least thats what I could gather from the stuff I read. nano-reef.com is your best bet. They have good articals. But there board is a little mean. So be prepared if you ask them any questions. Lev

| you will need around 50w on a ten gallon...i suggest reading this article as an introduction http://reefcentral.com/modules.php?s...showpage&pid=1 as well as several books on the subject most people will say to get 10k lights and actinic blue lights in a 3:1 ratio
