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.

Ok stopped at the LFS this morning and got 20 lbs of LS it was cheaper than the regular sand for only $15

Costs so far.....

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.
