stick tank!

[geoxman]

I have decided to try a stick tank. I have my old tank all balck 36x36x10 top down view, that I replaced with my new tank 36x36x10 top down view external overflow all black tank, and I am going to set up a stick tank in the old one.

On my current set up I have (2) 250 DE PFO lights and I was thinking about doing my old lighting setup on the new tank, which was a 400w SE M59 Lumenarc Mini. Would that be enough?? It sounds weird but it was not enough for the zoanthids on the outer 3/4 part of the tank? I am debating on adding another lumenarc because of the shape of the tank? I will run the XM 20k m59-so two 400w on a 10 inch deep tank

I have a Ca reactor--Howard do you still have my Co2 regulator?

I have bought a few Tunze and Seio PH that I will run for flow and the return will be a Mag 9. This will be a trick because it is a top down view tank and I want as little surface ripple as possible

I also have an octo dual recirc 200 mesh mod for skimmer

anything else I will need for sticks?
TIA

Another Lumenarc Mini, or one Lumenarc 3 would help with the lightspread to the outer areas. The big LA3's are 19.5"x19.5".

It will be tricky providing the flow without disturbing the surface too much...how do you think you will achieve this?

I would throw a skimmer and ozone generator on it along with the calcium reactor. Sounds like fun no matter how you set it up

i dont believe it --- this is the 2nd time you have talked about it


are you getting tired of zoos

Oh no I will still have the zoo tank and they are still my favorite. I just have this extra tank sitting doing nothing and I would like to give it a try with strictly SPS. I am maxed out on space on the current tank and I would like to try something different instead of another tank of zoanthids and ricordia
I bought a Schuran jet stream 2 CA reactor at the Belleville flea market for $5 so I am good there.

I am going to set up the tank on the deck this weekend with FW and see how the flow will work with the PH. I plan on keeping them lower in the tank and the flow going circular to cut down on surface ripples.
How many GPH do you think I would need for that tank? I have about 4000 gph in wide flow pumps. TIA
