Hey guys, my name is Kyle and I’m a Nashville native. I’ve always been intrigued by coral and have wanted a reef tank since I was a kid. I’ve had a koi pond for 10 years and I’m finally ready to start my dream reef tank.
Im looking at a 275 gallon 84x30x25
Considering Glass Cages and waterbox at the moment. 3 radion xr30’s, later adding some type of blade fills. Combination of mp40 and possibly maxpect gyre’s. Not sure which return pump, skimmer, control system (apex), to go with and if I want to go with roller mats and/or a refugium, calcium reactor, doser, etc…?
I know that slow and steady is the key but I am not sure where to start . I know that I need plenty of flow, good lighting, an established tank, good parameters, and occasional water changes (once established). I need dosing suggestions to make it as simple and automated as possible. Due to working long hours and occasional vacations.
I’d love to hear any input you guys have for a first time reefer starting a large tank.
Thanks much,
Kyle
