if the tank is
72" Length
30" Width
24" Height
Approx 225g?
Planning on housing one medium to large Harlequin Tusk Australian, one medium Blueface Angel and either one medium Yellow Tang or medium Yellow Eye Kole Tang for algae control.
The big question... Will the tank be healthy with the following filter setup.
Approx 100lb live rock (prefer light rock work esthetically)
Eheim Professionel II 2028
Eheim Professionel Wet/Dry Canister 2229
1 Durso drain leading to 60 gallon rectangular refugium with 10" live sand and the rest all chaeto, pumped back by Eheim 1262 pump
My thoery is the 60 gallon tank filled with live sand and chaeto will control the nitrates and buffer/filter the sediments and excess nutrients.
Never had a tank this big before, any help is appreciated. Again, this is intended to be a tank to house a trophy Harlequin and Blueface, the live rock is only intended for hiding places. A 4 to 5 inch sand bed will exist in the display tank. Lighting will be MH with T5 (for shimmering effect and T5 blue for balanced color and to bring out colors in the fish).
Also, am I forced to do a closed loop or Tunze wavebox for circulation in a rectangular 225?
Thank you
