Would a empty marineland 220(220gph) be enough movement for a 10g salt tank? Also would there be any problems using a empty canister filter?

Sure! I put LR rubble in there, for a mini-fuge.

jw, but what you putting in there? i was thinking of making a smaller tank like that and having it at work but salt creep and supplies not being at work and are at home all negated the idea

Are you asking what Im going to stock it with? Cause im not sure yet. Im thinking some hermits, snails, and gotta find a fish or two(would love to get a clown for my kid)

As for supplies, im going to run the marineland 220(with rubble, thanks PP) Im going to put about 10-12lbs of LR, and some argonite for substrate. My LFS sales premixed SW for $1 a gallon so Im thinking of getting the water from them just for ease. Figure on doing 1-2g weekly water changes, so it would be cheap and easy to get it from them.

If anyone sees that Im missing something please let me know

yeah i was just seeing what your idea was for stock. i would probably go with something along the lines as an invert tank, load it up with a tall stack of live rock with all kinds of crevaces. hermits and crabs would probably enjoy that tank a lot. i didnt think about the premixed saltwater, petco by my work does that as well... hmmm....

Clownfish do not do well in small tanks.

good to know, thanks RTR.
