I'd like to have 6ft tank with lots of wrasses and a couple of tangs, a foxface and maybe an angel and a butterfly. But I also like macros and clams and other things that tend to get eaten by these fish. Would an 8 foot tank with a clear acrylic partition at about 2 feet in be doable?
1. Would the tangs go absolutely bonkers seeing all that tasty macro and not being able to get to it?
2. What corals would go best in the refugium side vs. the non-reef-safe fish side? Meats and clams and such?
3. Thinking some smaller fish that wouldn't do great with the big boys can also go in the refugium side.
Any thoughts?
