55G Stock

[NyteReefer]

Standard 55gallon Tank

3- Resplendent/Randall's/ or Ventralis Anthias
1- Mystery Wrasse or other Wrasse (Suggestions?)
2- True Percula Clownfish w/ RBTA
3- Green Banded Goby (Suggestions otherwise?)

30gal sump, 10 gal refugium, 216w T-5 Bulbs on Tank, 1 Koralia 3, besides wet/dry trickle filter, I have a Canister Filter on the tank also, (Fluval 305 w/ Carbon Filter Media).

This tank will mainly have softcorals and maybe some LPS, if that would work out.

Besides if the stock is ok would these corals be ok with my fish, and with my lighting?

Pipe Organ Coral
Zoanthids
Mushrooms
Open Brain
Candy Cane Coral
Frogspawn
Green Star Polyps
Xenia
Kenyan Tree Coral
Yellow Fiji Leather Coral
Clams and other inverts such as hermits will also be housed in this tank.


Thanks, in advance, oh, and I'm running a http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+4392+4412&pcatid=4412

Is that skimmer ok?

looks like a decent set-up IMO.

Looks pretty good, IMO. I'd consider a couple of adjustments though:
1) Normally reef keepers don't run cannister filters with media or wet/dry filters -- they tend to make nitrates run high. If you keep the carbon changed in the cannister regularly it might be ok.
2) BTA's will sting and kill corals. Some folks have had all the corals in a tank wiped out over time as the anemones moved and divided. Not saying this will necessarily happen, but it is an issue for concern.

FWIW, that skimmer is probably OK for the tank you're planning. It's not overdoing it by any means, and if you were going to keep SPS you'd need something bigger/stronger IMO.
good luck!

Second that. fish list looks OK 2 me.
For the goby role, there are many options, all good.

Corals: i think tey are too numerous 4 that tank. In my 65 i struggle to find space for 2/3 of that list. Xenia is on the wall, so does not take any from corals. RBTA=half a tank (at the very least) taken over. Skip the ones u can live without. I would do RBTA(s), Zoas, Shrooms and GSP to cover the wall. May be one more coral, likely sinularia or similar.
Good luck.

The RBTA is pretty small, about the size of a Mouse for your computer.

I would love to get a mystery wrasse. I have a 50 breeder with no sump but plan on getting a HOB fuge.

Do you think that tank size is big enough?

Are they known jumpers, my tank doesn't have a top right now and trying to figure out a way to make a nice top that doesn't block out the light.

Thanks
