Looking to start a 160 Gal FOLR

[sniggir]

hey guys

well once I get my 300 gal tank for my Frontosa's I will be empting the 160 gal and would like to make it a FOLR.. just a couple questions about these types of setup's

1. do I need to skim as much as I would with corals, or could I get away with a less powerful skimmer such as a coralife 220
2. I would like to keep a banded cat shark in this tank it is big anough the spec's are 65"l 24"w 24"t
3. I would also like to keep a eal of some kind may be a snowflake
4. some angel fish if they are compatable...


lemy know what you think


thx Pat

160 gallon may be a bit small for the shark. I have never owned one so I don't really know, but if you go for the shark, keep the aquascape really open and have lots of sand for the shark to swim on, don't load it full of rock.
