Cyclo Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Well the 10 is running nicely, just waiting for stuff to grow. I've been itching for a slightly larger tank. So... I've decided on a 40g breeder size tank. Which I know when I goto the store to buy it will magically turn into a 46g bow. : Equipment list is as follows... Lighting Coralife aquapro (150w HQI + 2x65w actinic + 2 moons) Skimmer Aqua C remora (w/ prefilter) Fuge AC500 modded LR 60-75lbs Heaters 50w Tronics x 2 (the short ones that go into the AC500) Flow 2 PHs, Possible wavemaker devide. Undecided. Substrate Eyeballing black, but will problem go with standard Thats all I have so far. Comments and suggestions? Link to comment
Cyclo Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Forgot to mention what I'd like to keep in this tank. This will be a full reef tank. With my lights I hope to keep softies, LPS, and SPS. SPS will be limited towards the middle of the tank closer to the surface. As far as fish, I still haven't decided what to keep in my 10g so I'll think about this later. Link to comment
gregb Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I would get 2 Lawnmower Blennies to help with the algy. Link to comment
Bikelock Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 instaed of blowing the wad on the 46 go with the breeder and do a under the tank sump/fuge, aqua C urchin, drill it, ect. And if you do not want to do sump look at TOTM's on Reefcentral for a breeder for a good example. Link to comment
Cyclo Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 I went down to the LFS today and checked tank prices. I will definately be doing a breeder, bows are pricey!! I'm going to stick with sumpless on this guy. The heaters can go in the AC500. All that will leave me with is 3 (2 flow and 1 skimmer) maxi jets in the tank, and one tube for the AC500. None of that is too bad. Not going to do the pre-filter on the remora as I don't think its needed, and its prett big. Also if I can locate a 50g breeder locally (18" tall) I will be using that. Is this still considered nano. Am I allowed to stay here for help . Also what are some of the bigger fish I can keep in a 36x18x18 tank. Would a yellow tang be pushing it? Flame angel?
