Really? If I had a tank that size I would not be able to stop at 4-6 fish. Are you planning on keeping all SPS or mixed corals?

Yep 4 - 6 fish is what I intend to keep, they will be quite special/unusual fish (rare) and I don't want to over populate my tank as
I have seen from working in an Aquarium, and the problems that happen to an over stocked tank.

It will be a mixed reef some SPS and LPS, the SPS will be corals like Pocillapora & Montipora, nice and easy to keep.

i love the long low look of the tank. and having the outside holding tank is something that should be seen more often here in the states. It's a great idea and it beats mixing tons of saltwater at tons of different times. If anything, if it can't be gotton natural, you can even mix it up in a container like that, and leave it for the year.

I've got the onyx clowns already, just waiting for another Conspic angel to come on the a list we get from our fish suppliers as I said before they do not come up very often

I have put about 15Kg live rock in the tank with another 55Kg arriving very soon, Thanks Ernie At REEFlections Aquarium (my boss) has done me a great deal on the live rock and also the Tunze pumps.

[Ausie_fish]

I will be putting some up soon, just a delay in getting my live rock down from Queensland. Sorry about the delay.

Am also working on a dosing pump for my Kalk Reactor, thinking about an Aqua Medic Dual dosing pump Look here am also thinking od ditching my Aquamedic TurboFlotor protien skimmer for a reefoctopus skimmer Look Here

 

[Rokdog]

Go the Reef Octopus...Supposed to be very good skimmers, plus, I'm sure Ernie can do you a great price :lol:

Where in Queensland is your rock coming from?

 

[chris wright]

Both look like good products, id give them both a go.
