My classroom 10

[ilikualot]

So with the help of some of you here I have a 10 gallon that is up and running. I am new to these little tanks so I will take any suggestions at all. I have had the rock in here a week now and I am going to test the parameters on Monday. Lots of stuff on this rock all ready. Little bug looking things(Pods?) These are bigger than I have ever seen in my tank, feather dusters lots of little ones. The students are way impressed by them. PLus there are some anenomes. I dont think they are apistasia. They have white dots on their ends. I saw alot of them at the begining but maybe now they are disappearing.



My plans are to add a bunch of frags from my tank and many people have offered some stuff. I am going to try and pick up the light this weekend.


I still need to get these:

(If you have anything let me know. I am on a budget. The class has raised $48)

A light T5 or MH
Cleaning crew. Right now I have one big snail and have seen two baby snails.
A small pump to move water around the tank.
Fish (pair of clowns and possibly a goby/pistol)
Corals


please let me know what you think and I will try to update this as things get moving.
