Hello,
My name is Sean. I have a 30 gallon reef that has been up ad running for a little over a year now and I am almost done with fish stocking (nowhere near done with corals...). Currently I have my 2 Ocellaris clowns for fish and I am planning on getting a Helfrichi Firefish. As for corals, I have a zoa rock, some assorted palys, acans, stylophora, discosoma, ricordeas and a torch. But what I am here to discuss is the repurposing of my 10 gallon quarantine tank. After I get the Helfrichi, I want to put some sand and a few rubble rocks in it and some novelty inverts such as a pom-pom crab (I have one in my show tank but I barely ever see him and he is so fun to watch) or some sort of small urchin (as I have an arcylic tank). So a couple questions... When I put the live sand and dead rock, will the tank begin to cycle again? Would you recommend an urchin for a 10 gallon tank (provided that I supply some supplemental algae such as nori sheets)? What other cool inverts would you recommend for a 10 gallon invert only tank?
Thanks
