Hello MFK,
I am new to the forum and I am looking for help on my soon to be nano reef. I have two freshwater tanks right now and I know a 10g is not ideal as a first saltwater tank, but it is all I have room for right now. I am planning on using about 10lbs of live rock and a couple inches deep sand bed (5-10lbs?). I can find my own heater, but I want to make sure the other supplies I am looking at will work. I am trying to bargain shop, which is not easy when starting a saltwater tank.
I found this light and was wondering what types of corals it would support if any on a 10g or if anyone has had experience with it.

This is the powerhead I am mostly likely to purchase.

I have seen different opinions on whether I would need a filter or not on the 10g. Any suggestions for one? Also, I have read about the ro/di systems. Should I invest in one of those as well?
I appreciate any help or suggestions! Thank You!
