I've been wanting a saltwater tank for some time now, but for some reason my parents don't want to spend $500-$1000 on a 55 gallon glass rectangle full of salty water (can't imagine why?). Anyway, I have been reading about nano-reefkeeping and was interested in that. However, I think that would be a bit too complicated for my first saltwater tank. I was wondering if I could get the same size (a ten gallon) and make it a FOWLR tank? I would only want to keep a false percula clownfish and maybe one or two other small fish.
Now, if the answer to that question is yes, what kind of filtration, lighting, heating, etc. would I need? Would a ten gallon tank with 50 watt all-glass submersible heater, regular 15 watt flourescent lighting, and a penguin 150 or 200 HOB filter be enough? Is there any other equipment I would need besides the obvious test kits, hydrometer, and thermometer?
If someone could please answer all of these questions, I would be very thankful!
