Hey everyone, I’m starting to plan a reef tank centered around squirrelfish and would love to hear if anyone has any thoughts building a nocturnal themed tank.
I’m thinking of going with a 100-200 gallon peninsula tank with a black backdrop and ledges halfway up for the squirrelfish to hide under. Then I’d put corals on top of the ledges.
I also plan on keeping nocturnal creatures like eels, crabs, sea urchins, etc.
Id love anyone’s thoughts on this type of a tank as well as the lighting schedule (I.e keep low lighting and non-photosynthetic corals).
