Standard 10g Club

[Coastie Reefer]

The standard, off the shelf 10 gallon aquarium isn’t nearly as popular as it once was, at least not in the saltwater community.

Who has a standard 10g reef tank? Please share if you have one.

Here’s mine. Aquaclear 50 HOB, Koralia nano, AI Prime (non hd), Smart micro ATO, and a jebao dosing pump.

The rock is roughly 2 years old, but the tank has only been up since about February of this year.

Nice!!! Did the monti come with the rock?

No it was a chunk that was in my old 40 Breeder. It was just sitting on the sand bed. At the time it was just big enough to bridge the two rocks together but has probably doubled in size in 5-6 months.

Here’s a couple pics from earlier this year. The tank was actually started on Jan 6th, I can tell by the time stamp on the photo.

That’s awesome. Such good growth!

Bump. I know I’m not the only one with a 10g.

Hey bud tank is looking great. Is that in the shack too? I’m starting my first nano after my move as I lost a lot from the move but most all my fault. What filtration are you using? Just water changes? My biggest concern is controlling water conditions in that small of a tank.

It’s in the shack with everything else. As far as filtration goes I use carbon and filter floss in the HOB. Change the floss when it gets nasty looking (about every 1.5-2 weeks). I do a 5 gallon water change maybe once a month and that’s about it. I feed pretty sparse because there’s only a single azure damsel in there. There’s a ton of micro bristle stars and bristle worms... and I mean tons!

That torch looks awesome stretched out like that.

I just picked up a standard 10g that I'm hoping to piece together over the next couple of months. Your tank looks dope! Inspiration!
