Hi everyone!

I am new to saltwater aquariums but have decided to make the dive and go for it. I’m hoping to get a large custom display tank (8” x 2” x 2”) which will be approx 790-800L.

At this stage I’m looking for any recommendations on;
• Aquascaping tips for a LPS dominant reef that will eventually have fish in. I’m also thinking of having a few SPS but that might change if it’s going to impact the LPS?
• Sand recommendations
• Some nice corals to look into
• Best fish for initial introduction and clean up, and some ones to consider for later down the line
• Any other things you wish you’d knew before starting out

Thanks everyone and Happy Reefing 🐠
