Do I have the right setup for a nano reef in my tank? I have a standard 10 gallon tank. I am filtering with a small HOB filter (Top Fin 10), and providing flow with an AquaClear 30 powerhead. My tank bottom is crushed coral. I am lighting wiith a 5 watt LILYS LED clip light. I have a plastic cover glass. My skimmer just broke and I am currently trying to DIY a new one. I wouldn't add corals without a good skimmer. I do have some hair algae but that is starting to lessen off slightly and I am cleaning the tank more often. I have about 4 lbs. live rock and 6 or 7 lbs. used-to-be-dry rock plus some dead coral skeletons that I am pretty sure could be considered 'live'. My specific gravity is about 1.024 and my nitrites, nitrates, and ammonia are negligible. My pH is about 8.0. My tanks is stocked with 1 Percula clown, 1 peppermint shrimp, some saltwater hermit crabs (red legs and blue legs). Tank system has been running for about 2 or 3 years and appears to be quite mature with spirorbid worms and copepods. What do you think?
