Starting up my first 10 gallon tank. Going to be starting the cycling process soon. I've decided to go bare bottom and have painted the back and bottom black. Hopefully, that works out well in a tank this size. I plan on doing weekly water changes around 50% using RODI water with 0 TDS.
Most of the equipment I had lying around. What I'm using so far is:
I'd like to upgrade to a Robotank in the future mainly for an ATO. Dosing could be nice too but I'm not sure it will be necessary. I'll probably start the tank next week sometime with Bio-spira and a small clown.
Wish me luck! I'll plan on posting some updates as things progress.

- 10 gallon Aqueon $10 Petco special with top
- Aquaclear 50 hob
- Hydor koralia 240
- 100 watt heater
- AIPrimeHD
- Reef PI running on a pi 3 with a temperature sensor in the hob. The heater is currently controlling a wireless smart switch to keep the temp nice and steady.
