You don't have to follow it, but this is my rulle that I live by:
If you don't LOVE it, don't BUY it.
Our aquariums only have so much room, and on a nano tank that's even more true.
So I recommend you follow this rule. You don't have to, but I am much happier with the look of my aquarium now than when I didn't follow this rule.
Zoanthids are in my opinion the best starter. They can have such nice colours. Red orange yellow green blue purple pink black white. Every colour you can imagine, you can find on a zoanthid. GSP is good but it takes over quick, so I would steer clear. Acans are a great coral for beginners, and like zoanthids, come in many colours. Mushrooms and ricordea are another great choice.

Hey Oscaror,
I took those pics the same day i put them inside the tank.
Right now they look really good. The colors got stronger
The hammer look purple and green. Really like it.
Im about to get a new light for the tank, if you guys can recomend one i'd really apreciate it.
Pura vida

RADIONS :lol:
What are you really going for?
The nicest coloured tank I've seen is lit by radions. Look up Jourdy's reef if you haven't seen it already.
But radions are a VERY overkill light source for a 10 gallon.
What do you really want to see in your corals?

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the update. I might start a 10-gallon reef tank with only corals and no fish.

Chris,
Decided to do a 30-gallon because I was given one. I posted questions on a new thread if you have any input. You are doing well with photos!
