Milkshake Man's 10gallon Nano


Ok here is the plans for my nano if i decide to continue with it

It will be a learning experience as well as fun. I have a 10 gallon that will be home to mushroom's and GSP's. I will have one fish not sure on the kind maybe a chromis or a damsel.

Specs:
10 gallon tank
HOB filter.
No Skimmer
3-4" sand bed (yes a DSB learning experience)
10 lbs of LR


Like i said if i continue this is what i will have.

Thanks Kelli, I got to stop at the LFS today and pick up a small bag of sand. I am really interested on how this tank will turn out.

I am about to go get the tank ready to add water, sand and rock then take pics. Wont be adding anything for a week or two. But i want to at least get some pics.

It will cloud for a while when you add the sand but thats sand clears fast compared to SD.
