210G quest for a reef

Well this past week I began the process of changing my agressive 210G tank into the start of a reef tank. I traded all my agressive fish into the LFS for store credit. My 90G tank that has been up for little over a year was combined into my 210G as well. I wasn't happy with my 90G because it was still on a canister filter and I didnt like the cluttered look of the filtration and hob skimmer in the tank. I plan to make my 90G either a QT tank or something for the misses. Please let me know suggestions as im all for it! I attached a panorama shot from my iphone. This pic is day 3 after the combination. I did a water change after I took the predators out. The stock list is

-2 true perculas
-1 powder brown (s)
-1 yellow tang (s)
-1 six line wrasse (s)
-2 cleaner shrimp
-1 coral banded shrimp
-100 hermits

-rose tip bulb anemone
-kenya tree
-green button polyps

 

Looks very nice.....I'm curious, I'm assuming you upgraded your lights, powerheads, and what are you using for filtration? did you build a sump? I'm only asking because I'm on the quest now of turning my FOWLR into a reef and I've had to add a lot of stuff and improve things for better water quality - am curious what you did to get it "reef" ready....

 

Love the live rock setup!

 

50 Gallon Sump
300G rated reef octopus skimmer
50lbs of live rock with chaeto in middle divison of the sump
Flow consist of two 750GPH koralias and two 1300GPH koralias
Lights are a 7 bulb t5 from aquatics constellation

 

Well, I would say you are more than "reef" ready you lucky duck!! I'm still waiting and working on lowering my nitrates .....Nice set up and I'm very happy for you! I can't wait until I can get an anemone - that is really my main goal. I really have absolutely no suggestions - you have it totally under control!
