Hello all,
Long time R2R lurker here. Been keeping aquariums my whole life and reef tanks since about 2005. Six years ago I shut down a 120 and I've been missing it ever since. The bug has got me and now I'm planning a new 210 gallon tank.
Equipment
Tank - 210 Gallon Planet Aquaruims 72L x 24W x 29.5H
Sump - Trigger Systems TideLine 36
Lights - Starting with 4 Kessil 360x. Will add more as required.
Fuge Light - Kessil H380
Controller - GHL ProfiLux 4
Skimmer - Reef Octopus Regal 200INT 8"
ATO - 2 Float switches controlled by GHL / IM 15 Gallon
Rock - 180lbs of Marco Rock (probably won't use it all. I like a minimalist aquascape)
Sand - 200lbs Caribsea FijiPink
Salt - Fritz Marine Pro
Dosing - Geo 618 Calcium Reactor
Return Pump - Sicce Syncra SDC 9.0
Circulation - 2x Maxspect Gyre XF350
Still looking for recommendations on a good sized QUIET return pump. My plan is to try to get about 1000gph returned to the tank with enough overhead to add reactors in the future through a manifold.
Stocking
I've always chosen mostly decorative fish and a large clean up crew. I think this time around I'll choose fish that can maintain the tank for me. Will be using a lot of herbivores and wrasses for pest eradication. I'm definitely looking for advice on the order in which to add these fish based on aggression levels. I'll list them in the order I envision adding:
Sand sifting goby
Powder blue tang
Naso Tang
Magnificent foxface
Blue Hippo Tang
Clown Fairy Wrasse
Melanarus Wrasse
Yellow Coris wrasse
Pair of Clowns
Others I'm considering:
Trigger?
Harlequin Tusk
Anthias
Still just in the planning phases right now until my bonus arrives at the end of the month...
