brian92 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thats awesome. What are you planning in stocking fish and coral wise? I bet you could keep a small shark Link to comment
abe Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thats awesome. What are you planning in stocking fish and coral wise? I bet you could keep a small shark thanks, just one more pair of clowns, two scooter blennies, six line wrasse, blue tang, and vlamingi tang. achilles tang if i can find one. corals, whatever i already have in my 65g and mini nems. no sharks for me. maybe scribbled rabbitfish. pretty much all i PLAN on stocking. the rest of livestock is from impulse buys. oh yeah... lots and lots of clams Link to comment

abe Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Wow that tank is huge. i know kinda scares me sometimes Link to comment
abe Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 well, my 72" fixture not coming until june/july, sorry if i already said that. i am using 48" from LFS for time being. light is good. like how it does dimmer effect for sunrise sunset. and it is a powerful light, with major penetration. i would recommend, because the lights make colors POP.

Wow I imagine stocking a tank that big with corals would be hard because you probably need extra large colonies of everything Link to comment
