New tank

Sophie"s mom · Oct 25, 2023

Hello, I am both old and new to saltwater. Had a 110 G about 15 years ago, and am now getting back into it. I currently have a 90 gallon set up that finished cycling about a month ago. So far I have 2 clowns ( 1 percula, & 1 Picasso) A small foxface, and a 3" Naso tang, plus 5 nassarius snails. Have about 45 lb. of base rock with about 30 pounds of live rock. I know now that I will not be able to keep the naso for very long due to tank size. I am going for a mixed reef/community tank. I have been reading this site for quite some time, and thought it would be good to join.

I will post some pics. I do not have any yet though. Everything is still new. I do not even have the lights on yet. I bought 2 Hipargero 100 watt leds for it, but I am waiting to turn them on hoping to avoid some of the algae mishaps that come with a new set up.

I do some questions concerning filtration as I am really new to what has changed since my last tank. I do not have a sump, or wet/dry. I have 45 lbs. of base rock, 30 pounds of live rock, 2.5" live sand. I have a Coralife 125 HOB skimmer, 2 old Marineland Magnum 350 canister filters( one just runs for the UV sterilizer, which is not on yet, but the canister is) I als have a Fluval 400 HOB with carbon. SO my real question is, can I sustain coral with this set up? I have 2 of the Hipargero 100 watt LED lights

I ask about corals because I have never had them before. The most delicate being in my old tank was a Sebae anemone, who thrived! So I want to try corals, but I want to make sure the set up I have will work for them.

I understand, going through a little of the ugly phase on my 5g right now.
