Hi,
I don't know if anyone is still out here. I am new here and have a 10 gal that's been up and running since Aug 20th.

It was already set up when I bought it, so we just moved everything home.
It didn't come with any livestock.

It has been waiting for something to put in it. I just added two crabs and a ric (I think)

I need some suggestions on rockwork and stocking.
will post pics soon.

Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to nanotank. Just be sure your tank is completely cycled before getting inverts or corals. It sounds like it's been cycled but it doesn't cost nothing to ask your LFS to check for Ammonia and Nitrite...

Once that's okay, you can add premium live rock which should have some nice growth on it and it will not spike your tank into a new cycle...

As for critters you can get a small clean up crew, blue/red leg hermit crabs and you should be okay....

I have designed a thorough website showing you the basics on very small reef tanks 3 gallons and smaller...

Please read it thoroughly and if you have any questions please feel free to PM me....
