1. What a MASSIVE tank

2. Add them in order from most peaceful to most aggressive, then from smallest to biggest

Should I swap the sergeant majors and the trevally for something else? I only can feed fresh/frozen once a day in the morning and am planning to have 2 other feedings during the day with dry pellets. I can feed like mysis, shrimp and nori in the morning and have a mix of carnivore and algae pellets going off twice a day. Im sort of puzzled about what size pellet to use because I know it has to be like a certain size compared to the fishes mouth but im not sure still

If you can get healthy chromis,,,, theyre good but better are anthias such as Lyretail. Im going in order of aggression and potential size range

Im trying do build a more sort of biotope tank with more silver, yellow, grey and black fish so I think the anthias would stick out too much and wouldnt the snapper/trevally eat the chromis eventually?

Kind of an aside, but you've asked enough legit seeming questions that I fully believe you're making this, and it's a very interesting concept. I think a ton of us would love to follow a build thread for a tank like this.

Yup its still a while away, maybe 6 months but when everything is bought I will start a build thread, im building it out of plywood so hopefully it works, ive talked to some boat making guys and they are helping me a little bit with some of the sealing and those sort of things. Just gotta spent $2000 now
