arm twisitng aside, I'm doing it


well
my plans are a 10 gal tank with some corals
I have a tank (somewhere in my basement)

I plan on DIY almost everything on it
so if I can figure out a decent DIY skimmer I'll add it

more to come once I get home and layout my supplies

my goal here is to make a very simple and eco friendly reef tank
and to see if I can hold myself to 10 gallons since my last system was 275 gallons
