I currently have a 65 gal red c max, i'm still wit my parents and so i think it would be wise to just wait until i get my own place to start a big tank.
I'm thinking of a 180 gal or a 200gal.
Ofcourse, the real question is, which tank and where do i get it?
Hopefully once i have the money, i can buy the tank that would fit my needs.
I want a 180-200 gallon with a very large sump, thinking of having a 90-100 gallon sump just so ensure that theres a great filtration and that i can fit maybe 1-2 skimmers and have a large section for a refugium.
Tank:
-180-200gal
-Dual overflow
-100+ sump
Equipment wise: (need suggestions)
-Bubble magnum curve 9 or another skimmer maybe a curve 7
-Return pump? I've gotten accustomed to an IN SUMP return, rather than seeing those external thats plumbed outside.
-i don't want anything outside, is that possible? (maybe 2 jebao pumps or something?)
-Lights, Thinking of some T5's and some overgrow LED's, and then later on upgrading to some hydras (waiting in the long run to do some SPS once i've upgraded)
Starting everything dry:
-Dry live sand
-Dry Rocks and maybe some Live rock
Livestock:
-Blue hippo tang
-Achilles Tang
-Blonde Naso/ or Naso
-Powder blue
-Purple tang
-Lemon peel tang
-Pink square anthias'
-2 Black/white clowns
-Pistol shrimp/ Pink spotted goby pair
-Fire Shrimp
-Cleaner shrimp
-2-3 Emerald crabs?
-Hermit crabs
-Hawaiian Fire Wrasses x2
-x2 Bengai cardinal
Looking for a heavy bioload, i might run 2-3 skimmers if i get a large enough sump.
Any thoughts?
If it allows me i'll aim for a 250
my questions:
-Whats the absolute limit on tangs? (i really want all those that i've listed)
-Should i add all tangs at the same time?
- What else am i doing wrong?
- Pros and cons?
-What are better lights to upgrade to, other than hydras?
-How much budget should i save up for all of this?
-Thoughts on the skimmer(s)?
