I'm looking for a little advice or some tips on this setup and MOSTLY for some info on lighting.
Im looking for a COST EFFICIENT dim-able or programmable led that will be actually make the tank look a little better/ have enough output for the easier SPS like slimer and all that. I have a green acro right now that was captive grown but unidentified (this guy just had them coming off of his LR that I got for $15 that's why I got it.) Surprisingly not dead. The LED's I have now were 50% off and they make purple look brown which I hate. The mushroom is vibrant purple/green and the purple looks like crap in the daytime setting.
2X 425 Hydor Korialas on either side of the overflow pointed down and inwards towards the center of the sand bed.
Remora Pro w/ magdrive 350gph and overflow. I had a Tunze 9004 and it bit the dust real fast. magnet clips broke the first day I had it, and no matter how much I adjusted, it would fill itself in 5-10 minutes. Also it leaked from basically any seam. Just a badly made machine which is surprising because the reviews are pretty good
*Fluval 36" led think its like 34w, and a wave point 8w led (I know I need new lighting, for now they work for my mushy, zoas, and Xenia.)
about 31LB LR will add another big 10lb'r on the right corner.
Nitrate-0
Calcium-425
alkalinity-10-11
Phosphates- not sure but I just went through cyano so I dosed with chemiclear, and used Phosguard briefly along with frequent water changes. (killed my larger Xenia, only the baby survived.) SPS even survived it.
FISH:
Flametail blenny
orange spotted goby
3x chromis
going for a community so im trying to introduce peaceful residents first.
and a ton of misc. snails for cleanup. I want to add some shrimp and maybe a fighting conch but Its been up for about a month so I don't want an invert in there too soon.
I know 5 fish is a lot to be thinking of adding more, but id ideally like a pair of oc clowns with a host coral at least. The blenny and goby are very solitary and don't ask for much space. My blenny has his hole and comes out every once in a while to get some of my algae clip, awesome fish to watch, while my goby hops out from his cave for mysis.
Coral:
Green hairy mushroom
Red Sea Pulsing Xenia
misc zoas that my LFS for $6. really cool guys and they give me great deals.
