it is possible once you get a good filter some lights marine gravel and your saltwater has been stable you could start with some damsels. these fish are great starter fish pretty also.Would be better if you could get a bigger tank especially if you want more fish.smaller saltwater tanks to me equal Big problems quick if something goes wrong

Its possible but dont you already need a bunch of stuff for one of your other tanks. Then you wanted to get a betta and now you want a marine tank, I think you should focus on the tank you have now and get that all taken care of before you even think of getting more tanks.

You can...but you need to realize in a ten gallon tank you can only have 2 or so fish!!! There are a lot of nano tanks that size that have some softies, some inverts and a couple fish that are very beautiful...Koko has a nano that is out of this world.....

Okay! I am going to focus on getting the 10 gallon fixed and the problem fixed! Thanks!

Thanks ReefMan....Yes nano tanks are fun but you cant have as much fish in there, Its hard at first but if you can find a place that mixes your water that will make life so much easier, I have 2 7 gal jugs in the house just for salt water so that we can do a water change.....

The only problem with smaller tanks besides the limit amounts in there is that if something goes wrong you don't have a buffer to deal with it, I lost a clown do to a filter dieing on me.
