I leave someone else to preach about not starting with a tank that small, cuz I started with one smaller... Anyway... a 10 gallon tank, should actually be pretty simple, but be careful, because you will spend major major money on it, just setting it up. Be prepared to let your checkbook take the commitment as much as your time. You'll need live sand. I have 20 pounds in my 10, that seemed to do quite well. Made for about an inch-inch and a half deep sandbed, which was enough to look nice, and serve its purposes. You'll want somewhere between 7 and 14 pounds of live rock. I had 7, it was to empty. A powerhead or 2.. A powersweep 224 should do nicely. A reliable sumbersible heater. Tronic is my prefured kind, but I've never used an Ebo Jager. You'll also want a skimmer. Most would say you don't need one, but it's a great help, especially, if you get lazy. Lee's makes a nice small airpowered one for about 30 bucks that should fit the bill nicely. Now, as for corals, thats whats really gunna set you back. Assuming, you want to be able to do corals, you will need quite a bit of light. I'd suggest a 96 watt PC. That should only limit you to a few softies, most hard corals, and clams. Good luck, and keep us posted..
