Setting Up A Nano Reef Tank

10 gallon nano Reef Tank startup?

i wanted to start a nano Reef Tank but i don’t know how i was doing some research and it came up for maybe 1 or 2 small damsel fish and maybe a few corals , and i was getting that so my question is would 4 inch of live sand 4 slabs of live rock and 1 anemone,1 sort coral and 1 hard coral with 2 damsels and a shrimp maybe be fine? and how do i set that up?

First person with detailed question gets best answer!

This is a hard set up…i have a 10 gallon salt but its a fish only….if you want to start a 10 gallon

first use live sand land live rock as it will speed the cycle process…you will need 2 damsels to cycle the tank..but i would not keep them as they will tear each other to crap in that size tank…just take them back after 3 weeks and get something else small like a small clown….for the coral and anemones you will need to up date the lighting and make sure its powerful enough i would recommend talking to the fish store about the strong the light and light range for the coral you want…

Also for the coral the tank needs to age and become stable first…this is about 6-8 months….shrimp and snails are a must to keep it clean…if you want you could also get a star

the amount of sand is fine…and its 1lb of rock per gallon.
