I am planning to set up my old 10gal but not sure what i should do with it? Its a simple set up right now. Painted the back black, using a whisper 10 and 50watt heater.
Some ideas that i got kicking around are:
-Planted tank with some cherry shrimp
-Planted tank with neon tetras
-Sw tank with a pair of clown fish
any idea guys?

Shrimp... duh! But don't limit yourself to cherries - there are lots of other Neocardinias that are easy- to moderate-care. Yellow, blue pearl, dark green, and snowball come to mind.
You would have to pick just one, though - you don't want them interbreeding.

I would stay away from a reef tank that small unless you already have a good bit of experience with them. Even a couple clowns is pushing it IMHO. I do think a heavily planted tank with inverts or a few small fish (tetras) would be cool. One of my favorite tanks I've had was a planted 20long with a danio school. If you balance it properly, that type of tank can be incredibly low maintenance as well.

For sure. I bought one, the shop clerk telling me it was a silver dollar. One month later, it out grew the 10 gal. A month later, too big for the 29g. 6 mos. later, it's creating tidal waves in a 65g. They should not sell Pacu's....They get bigger than a manhole cover....
