220gal salt

[RedDevilDon2005]

you guys were right, its addicting. its better than any drug made. i want to turn my 220 into a salt tank. there are a lot of great keepers here on this forum and i would like to know what you guys would do with a 220. i know its not ginormous and there are much bigger tanks out there. but this is what i have to play with. lets here some ideas. and if you read my 30gal salt thread you know im not into the whole "nemo" style tank.

I would go with tangs, triggers, eels, groupers....

puffers are the way to go man and i know that you like the puffers get one of the bigger breeds of saltwater puffers

o yeh where is the fahaka going

 

[RedDevilDon2005]

fahaka may be getting a cozy 125 for himself here soon. and im liking the eels and tangs, not so much into groupers for some reason. say i was to do a reef tank? then what? im just exploring some options.

Tangs are great in reef.. What kind of lighting do you plan to use on your 220g?

 

[frogman5]

thats alot of live rock if you do a reef tank but im sure it would look great in the end and definitly go with an eel there awesome in a 220 im thinking ur not limited on eel choice

Get a dragon eel. Like 5-7 tangs. And whatever else.. Yellow tangs, blue tangs, sohal tangs... SO many beautfiful tangs that can mix well.

this wont happen untill feb. but it will happen. lighting will consist of a 3 bulb set up but now sure which kind. triggers are beautiful. are there any reef safe sharks if i go the reef route?

3 bulb metal halide? I dont know much about sharks.. And triggers normally eat reef, but its always a chance.. Probably shouldnt, but if you wannt try, niger or humu-huma triggers.
