Yes, that'll work fine.

**Fishfirst** · 09-21-2005, 07:08 AM

how much would it cost to keep 1-2 clowns in a 10? I got a 10 with light, HOB, and a heater. What else do i need, i've never done salt

waynside · 10-09-2005, 11:40 PM

this will be my first one as well...havent done it yet but planning to this month...

Fishboy, the cost difference is not great in small tanks like that. About all you really need to add is a Hydrometer ( tells you how salty the water is ) and some salt. Some different gravel would be good, too, but since you'd have to make so many water changes in a tank like that, the gravel is optional.

I agree with TOS, my 10g still wasn't cheap for being a 10g i put about the same amount of $$$ as i did into my 50g african tank
