So....
Ill start by saying this is early days! however, im not exactly taking my time theres just been some red tape involved aswell as getting work done. To keep it somewhat short i had to buy a house that would work with all the stuff we want to do. Then planning and eveything. All whilst trying to work on the house itself.
We've got the foundations done now so im hoping its not going to take too long to start the tank! So planning, planning, planning!
Right, total system volume is going to be something like 2000 gallons i think! I do know the main display will be 1870 gallons approximately.
The DT will go off to a sump/salt water pond. Also in the system is a tray and a tank about 4 foot that'll be for my commet grouper , i want him to have his own tank because then i can track how much food he gets . Hes too shy for one of the big tanks (yes theres a second system in the future that ill also make a premature build thread for) tbh he wouldn't get the amount he needs, especially when i add wrasse. It's a shame but he'd be better off . His tanks goin to be the gothic reef, ill put in a female if/when i track one down. Ill also add a dwarf lion too and possibly a engineer goby but dont count on that. It'll be LPS only .
The dimensions of the DT 10X5X5...
Viewable from the front and top. Sps dominated and ill try my luck with euphilia maybe. The reef will be off the substrate by about a foot and about a foot or so off the top. Itll ark across the span of the aquarium. I guess im looking at MH for lighting. I really carnt dicide whats going on with equipment but iv got plenty of time. CA reactor obviously .
Why so big?
Big fish! I want to be able to keep some of my favourite fish through their whole lives comfortably. This will include some very risky fish but im trying sps n hoping.
Queen Angels
Emperor Angels
Porqupine puffers
Vlemingi tang
Blue Tang
Poss/ still thinking its not big enough
Bamboo Cat shark
Bat fish
Spotted grouper
Box fish
Its going to be abit about timing especially with the possibility of adding a beloved spotted grouper but trying to keep anything from being swallowed whole !
Also, not saying i could, but some of these, such as the grouper and bat fish and shark, as i wouldn't really want them breeding as I'd have to move them on and i dont think people house them correctly, hence this silliness... hahaha
Any imput is very appreciated! Like i say, i carnt dicide on gear!
