Good evening my fellow reef heads! I am back in the game again and wanted to say hello to everyone! I will give you a little background info first than tell you my plans for my future tank. I first got into reefing back in 2011 for about a year before I served my country in the Armed Forces. I am recently separating and looking into starting my second tank, which will be a 150 gallon (previous tank was 75).
I am absolutely blown away at what this hobby now offers and the technology that has exploded in this industry (tank controllers, LED lights, etc). It's almost overwhelming the amount of research I have been doing, just to get reacquainted. I can go on and on, but I will jump right into what I am looking to set up as far as fish and corals.
This is just my first idea, I am open to suggestions/comments!
Fish: Would love an assortment of Tangs and other fish, but as of right now I know I definitely want these Tangs; 2 lipstick, 2 powder blue, 2 achilles, and 2 purple (will all be introduced at the same time to limit aggression).
Corals: I have an obsession right now for anomones. I would love to have 1 giant rainbow carpet anemone right in the center of my tank. I would also like to have a flower anemone garden on one side of the tank as well as a purple long tentacle anemone. I would add the carpet anemone first and after a few months I would add the purple tentacle (hopefully the carpet doesn't move lol).
I would love to have a dragon soul torch, an elegant coral (from indo due to the amazing coloration), scolymia's, SPS, and other LPS as well, but have not decided which I want.
Anyway I don't want you guys to read too much. This tank is about 2 years down the road from now, but the one thing I have learned in this hobby is to be thorough in planning. I am leaving no areas overlooked! Thanks everyone!!

. It's appreciated. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it to the reef show this year, but I definitely want to join a local club in Manhattan somewhere. It seems we do like the same things! What I was planning to do was to have the tank cycled and up and running for at least 3 months stocked with some clowns, probably picassos or frostbite/flurries/ice etc, then the first additions will be the anemones. I would get the anemone a small as possible (hopefully the reef show by that time would have the size I am looking for, or I can find it here!
