Hi guys I was thinking about starting a 10 gallon frag tank and wanted opinions on what equipment I should get. Please keep in mind that I'm a broke college student haha.

Preliminary equipment list:
10g rimless tank
50w heater
plexi glass for making bio cube type filtration
Maxi-Jet 247 GPH return pump
koralia evo 750
egg crate
lights??? PAR38 perhaps to save on cost?

I want to be able to grow some sps mainly but also lower light corals

anyway lemme know what you all think.

We have very limited space here so until I get a house I'm stuck with my 20 gallon and this 10 frag tank. After that it's 150+ gallons for me

that would be the smart thing to do right? connect them and you won't need as much equipment just a light cause the other tank would filter it and help feed your corals at the same time!

at least I think so. lol I'm not an expert but that's what I was thinking of doing
