Just did some work on the Refugium.I added some live sand,rock from my 75g,and some microalgea. I used the light that came with the 55g that I built the sump out of

 

Tank and stand

 

Just got some dry rock from reef cleaners put it in Tuesday

 

Man that's good looking! Bravo Zulu shipmate

 

Nice work so far! tanks looking like a beast. Any plans for stocking ideas yet?

 

I would like a lot of schooling fish. Any suggestions . I really want a Koran or imperial angelfish. I'm a little worried about the lighting though for my corals.the tank is 31" deep. I don't know of too many tanks this size using LEDs for corals.

 

Set of anthias would be amazing. or the usual chromis is always an option. But depends on your budget really. Anthias arent the cheapest fish in the hobby, and you could get 7-8 of them in their (idk if they do better in odd or even schools. i cant remember)

There are some tanks that have leds that are comparable in size. Your more than likely going to need more, that a definite. Im no guru on LEDS, but i know that with that depth your gonna need some more. Depending on the corals you wish to keep. Im sure currently you could house most varieties, but i would say maybe lower them, and add 2 more units perhaps? just my opinion.

 

Thanks for th advice. I was thinking chromis but anthias sure would be cool 2.

 

They need specialized feeding routines and needs that make them a bit difficult to take care of. From what ive read, ive never had an anthias. I would love to get 3 in my tank. Theyre one of the most beautiful type of fish in the ocean imo. and make a tank seem much more reef like. Theyre very populated on reefs in the wild.
