beautiful! A 10gal saltwater?

My girlfriend is ok with not only my pipes, but the tanks as well...as long as she doesn’t have to deal with the .

Pros of nano/pico saltwater/reef tanks:
-lower startup/equipment costs
-easier water changes

Cons:
-very finicky and much less stable
-weekly 30-50% water changes
-can’t get all the cool fish/coral you want

I have a HOB Protein Skimmer on my tank (Reef Octopus Classic 1000 HOB) thats rated for 100gal tanks, and a power head, plus lights. Everything (equipment, livestock, corals) were left over from my previous tank. The maintenance is easier because of the small size, but the trade off is you need to be more diligent and do it more often.

You have the expedience keeping aquariums and a girlfriend that supports your hobby/addiction. You should go for it!
