What corals you plan on having?

Mixed reef, xenia on the island to the left, some mushrooms, torch, acans, blasto, candy canes, monti cap and encrusting, plus 2 sps sticks but not sure what as yet (they r a long way off). Maybe some zoas but not sure yet

Torchs have long sweeper tentacles then can stretch 12", another than that I guess your fine, Montis do get big though.

Yes these 2 r my concern, but from what I've been told, the torches only sting when fighting for floor space (realestate) to continue growing. As for the monti cap I guess I better enjoy the hobby and upgrade or frag... lol theres no monti police so I'm happy about that

...I like spending time with my tank and watching my clownfish try to kill me....

@... LOLZ - Sounds like your pets must be related to my fire clowns! Those suckers can hurt!

Damien the male clown is a angel but my female clown thinks that I am yummy food, he used to lick me when I put my finger in the tank but when I put in a hand, he literally goes back and charges me at very fast speed. I wanted a cute clown, not a satin! I thought Ocellaris were nice clowns.

I cannot wait to see your tank progress

By the way, if you want to get ambitious, your use of a canister filter reminded me of NinjaFish's "floating cube", where the canister was close looped with the inputs drilled at the very bottom center of the tank:

Yer me too... dying here with all the patience I need.

I'm almost 2 weeks into a 30 day fishless cycle, so I'm miles away from any real progress, but I'm hoping time fly's ;Singing

That's very cool and and awesome idea, def worth considering on my next tank. My filter is well oversized for this tank so might still be suitable on the next one

What lights are you going to be using?

You should use a AI Prime 16HD

Aquaknight A029, it seems to have appropriate PAR for this size tank to grow mixed reef with consideration for SPS positioning.

The fixture is $60US, which pretty good value for money especially if it suits the tank size and depth

Heres a link for PAR readings that someone did on youtube

I'd love to but it wouldn't be keeping in with the budget goal intent

Fair Enough, for the xenia you said you wanted, you'd need an island because xenia is like a weed and I think I sent you to the wrong website for the Euphyllia, I meant Ocean Reefs Marine. I might have been correct though.
