Aquarium Advice Regular
My roommate has a 5 year old daughter who wants "nemo". I dont want another clown in my tank, and have been thinking of setting up her a tank in her room. I would be the one taking care of the tank, but I was walking through walmart, and saw they have a 10 gallon tropical fish tank with heater, lights, and fliter for like 30$. Every saltwater tank I have seen has a sump, but I know for a 10 gallon there is no need for it. Would I be safe putting about 10 lbs of argonate substrate in the tank and 1 large peice 8-10 lb live rock in there for her? If I cycle the tank, it should work right? I was thinking of taking an existing peice of live rock from my tank an put it in this one, as well as take about 5 gallons of water from my tank, and 5 gallons of new salt water. If it comes with the heater, and the lights, and I do the LR, substrate and water, is there anything else I will need? I dont want to run a skimmer, either...
