How to set up a 10 Gallon Nano Reef

First you will want to start out with the tank. The tank can be purchased at petco during the 1$ per gallon sale they run occasionally throughout the year. Your other option to get a cheap tank would be to look on craigslist. 

The next thing you will want will be rock. I picked 10 lbs of Carib Sea Dry Base Rock from amazon. I chose dry rock because I wanted to stay within a budget, and I wanted to avoid nasty pests that can hitch hike into your tank from live rock. You can purchase it through this link.

The next thing you will want is live sand. I picked 10 lbs of Nature’s Ocean Live Aragonite Sand, Natural White. This is a very popular option in the saltwater community for live sand and that is why I chose to buy it. You can purchase it through this link. 

The next thing you will want is a stand. There are many different shapes and styles as well as heights and some with cabinets. I chose Petco’s Brooklyn 10 Gallon Metal Tank Stand. I bought this because it is very simple and has a good price. You can purchase it through this link. 

The next thing you will want is some type of water movement. I picked the Hydor Koralia Nano Aquarium Circulation Pump 240 GPH. I chose this because I have used this power head before and I loved it. In the tank I am starting this will be the main source of water movement. I will be supplementing this with a hang on the back filter. You can purchase the power head through this link. 

The next thing you will want is a heater. I picked the Aquatop GH75 Aquarium Submersible Glass heater 75 Watt. I went with the Aquatop 75 watt because this will give me enough power to properly heat my aquarium to any temperature without having any issues. I also have used this brand on all of my prior tanks and have never had issues. You can purchase this heater through this link. 

The next thing you will want is a thermometer. I chose the Marina ThermoSensor In-Out Digital Thermometer. I decided on getting this because I cant stand seeing a glass thermometer in the tank. It always pulls my focus away from my fish and I wanted something more low profile. You can purchase this thermometer through this link.

The next thing you will want is some sort of lid. I chose the Aqueon All Glass Aquarium Versa Top, 20-Inch. I picked this Aqueon lid because I wanted to match the tank manufacturer so there were no sizing differences between the lid and the tank. I have also purchased Aqueon brand lids in the past and never had issues. You can purchase this lid through this link.

Now some extra things you may need to purchase if you do not already have them would be a...

Test Kits - Saltwater Master Kit and Reef Master Kit

Hang on The Back Filter

Hydrometer

Refractometer

Salt - Reef Crystals or Instant Ocean

Protein Skimmer

A sump
