thank guys lol,


I have decided to keep the tank but purchase a lot mor things before i start back up. i also need to kill all the ick in there so when i get home any alive fish will go in the quarentine and i will take all the rock out, scrub it down, and put it in a rubbermaid with no light for like a week or 2. I will then get the tank ready with all the new systems. i an going to make a closed loop system also with 2 seio 1100 powerheads amnd a rio 800 in the tank. I am going with a starboard bottom or sxomething, but starboard is expensive, does anyone have an idea what to use instead? Also wou;d my carpet be albe to live in there with no sand to ut its foot in? I will them set up the tank with 100% new water, add the rock back and bu some more to add, then let then tank cycle for around 4 weeks or so. so that will be roughly 6 weeks that the ick has no fish to host so hopefuly it will all die. I will then add whatever fish are in quarentne, if there are any left, and wait around 4 weeks to add a mated pair of naked clowns. and the tank will probably be sps donimated. what do yo think?
 
first of all i would not keep the rock. from the pics i seen it looks like gulf rock. i would by some fiji or better and get 100 plus pounds to help with any over crowding or future concerns. sand should not be a problem in the tank. why do you want to go with starboard? and keep the sps for later. you have t 5's if i correct and you need to save for mh's. save the money up for good test kits and or monitors and use a larger pump for closed loop to save you money and keep heat down. just my 2 cents. and wait 3 months before you but fish back in.
 
okay well a squence dart would do that for you. and the seio 1100 are 1,100 gph each and the rio is 210 so that's 2410gph and i had a mag 24 and 2 korlia number 1"s on a 20 long and did not have any problem with the sand bed at 3" depth. had 10 outlets on a squid and no dead spots in the tank. sps need not only high flow but erratic flow as well.
