Hey guys, I’m planning my next build and would like your thoughts on setup size.
I’ve got a 7ft wall (which the Mrs isn’t keen on completely filling) and plan to set up an SPS dominated reef with a variety of fish (including multiple tangs).
The two custom build tank sizes I’m considering are (length x width x height):
6ft
183cm x 55cm x 61cm (614ltr / 162G)
5ft
152.2cm x 55cm x 61cm (510ltr / 134G)
Tangs I would like to eventually include (phased process):
Sailfin
Powder Blue
Yellow
Do you think either of these setups would be big enough for a Sailfin? I’ve read 180G is more ideal, which isn’t achievable for me. If not, should I just get the 5ft?
Here’s a rough plan of how the 6ft cabinet would fill the wall - DT to go on top [emoji4]
Welcome your advice
