10 gallon

[Natemania]

What things are absolutly nesasary for starting a 10 gallon fish only set up. I will most likely add in some live rock later when I have the money.

I am trying to keep it around 200 but less would be great

10 Gal Leader tank $10.00

Small Heater $20.00

Clip-on Light $ 6.00

Cheap Bulb $ 5.00

Power Filter $30.00

Salt $15.00

That would put you around $100.00 depending on prices in your area etc. and does not include: (because they are not "absolutely necessary") a stand or sand or live rock

Don't forget:

hydrometer: $5.00
Thermometer: $2.00
misc buckets and hoses: free - $10

I would rather spend the 30 on some LR and a maxijet

i dont know about that.... check around before you buy. i found a ten gallon for sale at a garage sale for a dollar. then i went to wal-mart and found a cheap heater for 7 dollars and then i bought the hood and cheap lights for 15. transfered water from another tank to set it up, and found a filter setup for 15. Went with sand from another tank, and a few chunks of live rock, and next thing you know, i got me a little bitty nano... and its all bout to get torn down and done up right.
