New Tank!!

[hypermikie]

Just got back from Premium Aquatics...

Purchased a new 24g AquaPod with 70w HQI...
Added 20lbs of Live Rock and 15lb of Live sand...
Hopefully this will scratch my itch since I got rid of my 75g reef!

I never used Halides before, my last setup had 440 watts of VHO's and I kept a little bit of everything, even had sucess with croecea clam...

What can I NOT keep with this setup?

I thought I would start with a school of 3 yellow tangs

But really what limitations do I have light wise?

p.s.
PREMIUM Aquatics people were super! Very helpful and went out of thier way for me! Great prices and tons of great products, livestock!

Sounds like a sweet setup. Did the 70w come with the nano cube as a package deal?

Yeah it was packaged with it... Has 12 moonlights on it as well (6 blue, 6 white) with all light switches independent.

Can't wait till it clears up to start aquascaping..

3 yellow tangs are a no no for a 24 gallon tank. In fact one yellow tang is a no no. YT's require a minimum of 40 gallons, as they like to swim a lot. Putting a YT in a 24 gallon tank is just torture.

I think he was joking....and IMO 1 yellow tang requires a min of 75gal.

Slight sarcasm....

Does anybody have any recommendations on coral limitations with this lighting? What should I NOT try?
