I'm a new member to this website, i actually joined looking for info on micro and nano reefs, and thread was exactly what i was looking for! very very helpful, one question though, I plan on starting a ten gallon nano reef, Im gonna use an aquaclear filter and lots and lots of live rock, and maybe some anemones and stuff, I want to have two clownfish and maybe a few others, would that be too many fish for a ten gallon? I know usually the rule is one fish for every ten gallons or something like that, but wasn't sure if the rules were the same or different for micro and nano reefs. Also, I know that most corals need pristine water conditions to survive, is it hard to maintain such conditions in a nano reef? Any tips?
Thanks

water changes, good skimmer, good filter will help. Watch the amount of food you feed as well. I wouldnt have to much LR, thats just going to eat up swimming room. 15lbs-20lbs seems to work well for 10gallons

you're going to need ALOT more room than that... the blue damsel is good, or the 2 stripe would be ok-ish in that tank, but the two dominos have to go, now preferably...

i'll try and get some pix of my pipefish tank...
