10g frag tank setup

[rob92]

Today I was bored so I started making a frag rack for a 10 gallon tank I have. Well when I was done with the rack I decided to take leftover rock and sand and add that to the tank then before I knew it I added a heater and a nano skimmer, an powerhead. Here is what I have soo far.

I know I need to add more water and i plan on doing that tomorrow.

I want this tank to be just for zoa's and maybe have a occ clown in there that's why the back corner are cut out along with swimming holes under the rack.

WHAT DO I NEED NOW???
I'm currently using io sea salt, do I need to get the io reef crystals for zoa's or would they be ok with regular io sea salt? Also I plan on getting a kessil 360 for the tank. Anything else I need? I already have the test kit that I got for my FOWLR tank.

Looks good, just keep your salinity at 1.025

Do I need to dose anything since I'm not using coral salt or will zoa's be ok in just regular io salt

Not for zoas, nothing special. Reef crystals may give them better coloration and growth if your lighting is insufficient

you may not need the kessil 360, maybe just the 150

 

[rob92]

Thanks I'll look into that

Well good news I'll be getting a 150 gallon next weekend but I won't be working on it for a while because I'm gonna have to strip all the silicone off and take off one side panel to replace it since it's cracked. But I ain't doing anything till my 46 is up and running and it's perfect to me.
