newreef's 150 gallon build

good that makes me feel alot better i was freaking out lol

 

Wow good job on my part missing updates on this thread. The 40 as a QT would be a great idea. That would be the size of the DT I'm setting up and I thought that was a nice upgrade, lol. I'm wondering what your plans are for plumbing the sump and fuge.

I wish I had the space for a setup this size.

 

imo the led's arent needed if you select a good MH bulb. leds are good for making corals pop tho

 

yea thats what im going to use them for

 

so i found a guy that was taking down his tank so i stopped buy his house today to pic some stuff up

2 X 3/4 inch sea swirls

Newreef15 - Sounds like too many fish for a 150 reef.

 

im thinking about 15

yellow tang
sailfin tang
hippo tang
kole tang
3 purple anthius
2 clowns
corrius wrasse
mystery wrasse
leopard wrasse
another wrasse
yellow watch man goby
midas blenny

 

dose that sound like to much?

 

I think they would do fine, you might have some nitrate problems since tangs defaecate a lot. If you leave many spaces between the rockwork, for them to swim through they might not have as many territorial disputes. As for the wrasse, the coris and even the mystery wrasse may eat small inverts like shrimp, so you should keep an eye on them if you do add them. Why don't you try fairy wrasse?
They seem peaceful enough.
