in about a week i should start my project..it will be a 48x24x10 frag/grow out tank which will house a mixed variety of sps and zoa frags.
i would like some input as this is my first frag tank,i have done some research and just wanted some input on what my setup will be.if i left anything out please correct me or give me some advice.
so the tank will be a 48x24x10
skimmer:swc 160 cone
sump:40 breeder(should i go bigger or what? if i do go bigger i would like something with dimensions that most tank manufactures offer)
powerheads in tank:4 hydor koralia 1150gph one in each corner.
return pump:mag 9.5
lights:to be determined,but thinking two 250 watts runnning ushio 14k and a diy cree royal blue led strip.
heater:have plenty of those around lol
i will only have a few fish in the tank,a grey head wrasse incase of flatworms or other pests since i will be keep some different corals in there and a lawnmower blenny.
and snails,no hermits just snails!
i plan on having it barebottom without any liverock in the display.
i will stuff as much liverock as i can in the 40 breeder(or larger sump if i change to a bigger one)
