reef parameters

[Datnerd14]

So I'm going to try for a reef with corals like

favia,acan's,Duncan's,torch,plate,
toadstool, and zoas/palys

What would you recommend I keep perimeters (the tank will be 70 gallons with a 30 gallon sump) lots of rock and a few islands for aggressive corals


What would you recommend for water perimeters should I dose anything (I am planning on using reef crystals )
Are those corals ok with each other

In summary what are the ideal peramiters for the tank I'm planning

LPS tend to like dirtier tanks, so you won't need to be AS careful about nutrient levels (PO4 and NO3)...but you probably should still avoid letting it get crazy in there. All of your other params will be the same as in most any reef tank.

Here's an article by @Randy Holmes-Farley on reef aquarium parameters that may be helpful: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rhf/index.htm
