Hey Guys. I've been looking into staring a reef tank for about 3 years and have finally dove in. I am setting up a rimless 65 gallon reef tank with a 40 gallon sump. Follow along if you are interested and I definitely appreciate any advice!

We're watching. don't forget the chaeto in the sump, a good fuge light, and a lid if you have any superman wannabees.Hey Guys.

Watch your fish choices, many fish stores label reefsafe that we here might argue, with a bad experience.
Going to have fun, good luck.
Thanks Flipper. I was thinking I would wait until the rocks are finished cycling before getting the refugium up and running.Looking good so far! Bravo!
I'd hold off on any chaetomorpa for awhile till the tank matures and you have enough nutrients for it to up take.
I haven't really decided on what fish yet. I was planning on definitely starting with two clowns and then maybe a small yellow tang to help keep the algae down. I really want to get crabs and some other inverts but don't really know how far along the tank has to be before I can add them.Just make sure to keep the rocks far enough away from glass that you can clean if you want. I like the tank and scape too. Cannot wait to see this wet. What animals are you thinking?
