Ok, so seeing all of these amazing tanks with amazing LPS makes me want to have something that works. Here is what I want, please let me know what it takes to get it...
I am thinking like 30-45 gallon shallow lookdown tank(something that is long/wide, but only 18" deep)
I really only like chalices, but would put other LPS in there too, like plates and scolys. Just a few simple fish like a tang to control algae.
For this kind of tank, do I need a sump?
Will it get by with no filtration, just water changes weekly?
I was thinking of using a MP 10, but what kind of lighting? I tried LEDs, and they didnt do well with my LPS, so I am thinking a high quality T-5 set-up with lots of blue/purple bulbs.
What would I need to dose daily?
What parameters are important to chalices?
Any help would be awesome, I will post my progress once i get the tank going.
Thanks,
Bill
