I have plans of creating a 10 gallon nano tank and am curious what everyone thinks about my plans:

- Tank: 10 gallon Aqueon aquarium
- Aqueon aquarium lid
- tidal 35 hob filter
- current loop orbit marine light w/ light rack
- current loop 660GPH Felix wave pump
- 100W heater
- MagTool auto top off

Coral Stocking: 6 corals
- Ricordea Mushroom
- Toadstool Leather
- Zoanthid
- Finger Leather
- Duncan
- Blastomussa
- green star polyp: back wall
- pulsing Xenia

Fish Stocking: 2 fish, shrimp, crabs and snails
- 1x clown (ocellaris/percula)
- 1x goby or 6-line wrasse or blenny or blue/green chromis
- 1x fire shrimp
- X snails (not sure what specific snails I want)
- X blue legged hermit crabs
- 1x Pom Pom crab

If anyone has any opposing opinions/advice about stocking please feel free to comment. I have experience with reef keeping, I had a 40 breeder for a year and the maintenance was too much for me so I think a nano will be better for me.

10g would be too small for a clown or 6 line

Instead of a sixline or a clown I would go with something more laid back, like a watchman goby or fire goby.

Agree with the above. too small for a clown.
As for the lighting, think about going with either the Current USA IC pro version or the R24. Much better spectrum out of those.
Everything else looks good to me.

Too small for a clownfish, would personally do small non-watchman gobies like sharknoses, neons, or yellow clowns.
I was also thinking about the clown gobies. Is there a difference between the blue and yellow? Also do you know if they have a good personality?

I think I'm going to stick with the lighting I have now, I'm just growing softies for the most part running blues and whites only. Then putting the duncan and blastos in the mid of the tank
