Well done mate! What a difference that made..
Thanks. 2 years in the making. This will be a nice home for those fish.Well done mate! What a difference that made..
Cracking looking tank you have behind you there.. Looks awesome!
I'm moving from a 120 minreef.Personally, I like about a 1 inch depth of sand Thats about 2.5 cm. I don't think it matters, but that's what I like.
That tank is about 90 US Gallons.. or 350 liters. Decent size but will still present some difficulty with stocking.
I would move the lights apart a bit to ensure as even coverage as possible. From the posted photo it appears that you will have a "hotspot" in the center while the corners will be underlit. This is my opinion and not a rule. You could easily set your corals in a way that would take advantage of the brighter and darker areas. It really is what do you think is best for the system you plan.
Back to the stock point.. what is your goal there? Most Tangs will be unhappy overall with that limited space. Clowns will be fine. Chromis, Damsels, possibly a dwarf angel.. basically small fish...
You should think ahead to function of your stock as well as beauty. I like fish that also serve a purpose.. such as a Tang to nibble algae, or a CBB to nibble Aiptasia.. that kind of thing.. Not really a fan of useless eaters.
Then consider what corals you plan to stock.. do you have ample room for them to grow? How will they play with the fish you plan to stock? Do you have adequate light if you decide you want to go with an SPS dominant setup?
What CUC to you plan?
Do you have a backup plan for if any of your original ideas don't pan out? Say for instance, you stock a bunch of Peppermint shrimp, but they refuse to eat the Aiptasia that somehow managed to get in your tank and is now taking over. What then?
Just some ideas to have in mind.

No tangs. I'm not play roulette.
More substrate from the existing tank will give me the inch.
What other fish? Not sure yet.
Moved lights to 1ft from outside edge.Personally, I like about a 1 inch depth of sand Thats about 2.5 cm. I don't think it matters, but that's what I like.
