I picked up a red sea tank today. I have a proclear 200 currently. My plan for the build is going to be a little unconventional. Anyone with ideas can feel free to let me know. Both tanks are 5'x2'x2'. I wanted a 10' tank but 2 5' tanks is close enough. That will place me close to 400 gal total volume while making the tank a better place in theory.
My plan is to run the tanks in the corner. Then build a bridge 1'x1' between the 2. That way the lions, panther grouper, and all others can hopefully travel freely. This will also give a chance for the mandarin to have more of a chance since he is smaller than the current food for the carnivores.

I do realize there are some mushrooms and polyps. The coris is flipping them over so they wont be replaced after it destroies the corals I have. Plus wife wants angels so they can just be food if thats how it goes.
