How would you do it????

I want to set up a reef flat environment in my 60 gallon cube. Please list the equipment you would use to achieve that given these restrictions.

The tank is 24" tall and the rock can be no higher than 1/3 the way from bottom.

The corals kept will be gemmifera, formosa, globiceps, millepora, nana, humilis, valida, puchra, hystrix, porites, stylophora, and pocillopora.

Don't freak out, I will be moving these to a 240 gallon tank or larger in three years time or less and will be starting them from frags.

Some general info about reef flats: intense light, clear nutrient poor water, surge-like flow, and high volume flow(practically everywhere in the ocean).

Finally, pic some fish that you think would compliment the setup and corals kept.

I think you are asking the wrong question. As there is no "right" way to setup a tank with the exception of making sure it is filtered and well lit. Perhaps posting how you plan on setting it up and asking what others would do differently would get you a better response.

i'm not asking for the right or wrong way to do it, i just want to see HOW others would do it. I want people to give whatever they think is best for this particular scenario. I'm just curious. Who knows, I might like some one else's way of doin git better than mine and change a thing or two. Like i said, just curious, i don't think it has been done too often.
