Thanks! still trying to decide on what fish to put in. I don't want a lot of fish so trying to be picky. I was thinking I might try 3 purple firefish. I refuse to put a top on so they might jump out also.

Anyone have ideas on fish?

Just letting you know that I started a Reefer specific thread if you want to join in, show off your setup, give advice and ask questions there. Once we get some traffic on that thread, it should blow up with good info and be a great place to gather ideas etc.

Here's an update. I've had my skimmer in for a week now and loving it. I've also added a few more things from my other tanks. My water is still a little cloudy and can't figure out why. Just isn't crystal clear like my other tanks.

Nice! Do you feed heavy

 

[Jmelki]

Not really. Only 3 purple firefish in there. I feed corals oyster feast a couple times a week.

I have some updates to the tank.

I now have 7 fish and an assortment of corals.

Three Ignitus Anthias, Purple FireFish, Pinstriped Wrasse, and two neon gobies.

I'm thinking on adding a tang next. Just trying to figure out what I want.

It's been awhile since posting. Here's an update on my tank. Is doing really well and I'm loving it. I'm in the process of taking the sand out because my tangs have picked up a bad habit of picking up sand and dropping it on corals.

Could you please tell how many kgs of real reef have you added?

 

[Jmelki]

I say I have around 70-80 lbs of rock

I have the same set up at you. A Reefer 450, 3 G4 Radion XR30s with the defusers. What program and intensity are you running your lights?
