10 g nano build.
Hi, I'm making a 10 g nano tank. Am upgrading from my 3 g pico tank.
I will make a small wood footing for the tank to set on and a canopy to fit my PC lighting and moon lights in. The most expensive thing will be the lighting, I think it will cost about 80 bucks. It is a 96 W retrofit kit. I will not have any filtration, just Live Rock & Sand. I will probably get 2 of the nano Koralia powerheads. I am not sure if I will need a heater, but if so I have one. Already bought the 10g tank from Wal-mart (like 10$). I'll try and get pics and stuff up as I go along. Will go to Lowe's today to get wood and what-not.

I'm not being critical, just saying... that'll be ~500gph, for like 50x turnover!
