Being a college student, your first saltwater tank and it being a 10 gallon I'm going to say this is going to be diffucult, just because you probably won't have lots of time for it.
You would be able to keep one maybe two small fish.
IMO firefish shoudn't be kept in such a small tank and they will jump so it will have to be covered at all times.
I have a 10 gallon nano reef. It has about 20 lbs of
lr. IDK how much sand, 2 inch deep with a 32 watt coralife
pc fixture.
You can get corals, depending on what corals you want to get, you can decide what light is best. It will be anywere from $30 to $150 depending on what corals you want.
I wouldn't do it. Just cause it costs a lot for setup and then you wont have time for it, unless all you do is sit in your dorm room all day. And then when December comes you have to pack it up and take it home and then bring it back end of January, or at least that was how long my winter break was and you couldn't go into the dorms during those two months or so.
A little 5 gallon betta tank works great
only lke $40 for the tank, fish, food, heater, and filter. lol
