The Think Tank... Shoutout to Steve at Petco

[death-by-reef]

I have wanted a reef for so long, have planned many builds and my first serious one was my 65g one. I was saving up money to do that but i just wanted one so much that i was at petco helping my sister set up a betta tank that i impulse bought a 10g tank and some HOB stuff. I slapped on a light that i got some advice about, link is here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/im-about-to-break-down-questions-about-light.948761/. I want to do a Shoutout to a guy name Steve who works at petco, and is the only person ive ever met at petco who knows their way around a reef tank. He is not on R2R but i would like to give my thanks. anyway, Im thinking a neon goby and maybe some other small fish for this tank, I love me some tiny gobies. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks already

don't need a skimmer put the money towards a ai prime 16hd

no skimmer, just get like 20 lb fiji pink, 10 lb live rock, hipagero 30w or nicrew light 30-50w or smatfarm light (i dont remember the wattage). get like 6 neon gobies & a couple gorgonians & you have a biotope.

Also, dedided on Kessil Tuna blue A80, opinions? ik AIs are better but super expensive, thought maybe the kessils would be fine on a softie/ low light LPS 10g.
