yeah go to the thread "Ok On to a new project I am going to upgade my tank" it show some its not the best setup but I am still working on it some tech info on what I am running though
AGA 10gal tank
coralife 18w 9inch light with 1 10k and one atinic
aqaua clear 70 HOB filter
coralife digital thermoter
DIY Stand and Canopey
and a Penn-Plex 50w heater
With the lighting though I would go with like the 20" coralife something that puts out more watts but that depends on what your planning on keeping I have been told you should average 2-3 watts per gallon of water so the lowest I would recommend would be a 36w fixture but I would still look into even more I am either going to be adding a 70w metal halide to mine or getting a 96 w retro kit to install in my canopey not sure which yet but if you have any more "?'s" feel free to ask if I dont know one of these great folks on here with have the answer for you Very knowledgeable group of people in this group.

and :welcome to Nanotank.comI also added tonight a domino damsel and a huge snail not sure of the type but its about the size of a golf ball and I also added a good chunk of pulsing zenias so as soon as there settle I will starting doing some frags of them also for anyone I will post some pics tomarrow of the new arrivals I was going to do it tonight but I wantd to give domino time to settle into his new home ( i know thats alot of fish for a 10gal but hopfully this weekend I will be adding my 5.5 gal sump so that will bump me up to a 15.5 gal water vol which should be ok for just the 2 of them right? I dont plan on adding any more fish. but will keep all posted.

Well thanks all for the advice but It was easier to remove him then thought he passed when I was at work I came home and the crabs were having their own all you can eat buffet I think it was just to much bio load on the tank I had him in there for 2 days and the levels were already indicating time for a water change so I think I am just going to stick with the corals havent had much luck with fish.
New Frags
Well heres an update pics to come I decided to hold off on fish for a while per sadies advice and I picked up a few frags today (some more buttons also a candy cane and a nice rock with mixed zoos (pink orange and I believe some green on it look nice)) I will post pics in the am wanted to give them some time to become use to the new tank.
