Hey all. It's been a while since I've been on here. I'm setting up a new tank and I'm looking for help and/or opinions on it. I currently have a 120 gallon full reef and a 65 gallon reef plumbed together with a 40 gallon sump. I'm getting ready to set-up a 210 gallon tank in the same system and give it all a 150 gallon sump. I am going to set the 210 up specifically for Moorish Idols, I would like to keep 3-5 Idols in it. I have kept 2 in my reef that I adopted from someone else who was good with them, but found out the hard way they eat acros. The 2 I had did fine for a while (approx. 6 months) but then died as is expected considering I wasn't prepared for them. I am going to have this tank completely set-up and running, and hopefully have livestock going in it as well so the very last thing I put in it will be the Idols. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about previous experience with these fish, or any helpful suggestions for tank mates (I was thinking Copperbands, small gobies, and fairy wrasses). Also does anyone know where I can get a stock of live sponge for the tank. Basically any information or thoughts (good or bad) that anyone would like to give me would be much appreciated.
