Hello Everyone,
So I've had my 65 gallon for the past years and after losing some of my fish overtime to age I decided to use this opertunity to convert this tank to a reef! At the moment it's been about 3 weeks without and fish or corals in the tank, I've rescaped the rock to my liking at least as of now, the only livestock left in the tank is my CUC which contains 6 red leg hermit crabs and 3 Astraea snails as of now. As it goes for what kind of reef I plan on making this, I've came to the conclusion that it's going to be SPS dominated with some Zoas and maybe a few LPS. I've also created a pretty bland fish list, a Onespot Foxface, 5 Blue Eyed Cardinals and a Royal Gramma, there will be more added to the list soon. Since this is my first time with an SPS tank I'd enjoy it if I could get some advice, tips and tricks and any thing else that will help me make this my dream tank... I really want everything to flow nicely and tie in together good! As it goes for specific SPS I'm leaning towards and Acro Dominated tank, I don't have a huge list of the exact names of coral yet but shortly I'll make sure to post and update on everything!
