hey guys, i've torn down my FOWLR and am doing a full reef now, had to move the tank due to refurnishing of the living room. picked up a new sump and got new lights as well.
it's about 70gals , with a sump of ~40gals, skimmer rated about 120 gals, filter wool in the internal overflow box [in a basket] that will be changed or washed in tankwater weekly.
i will have chaetomorpha macroalgae in one of the sump compartments, with the rest being full of LR, a small section for chemical filtration.
i plan on having two koralia 3 or 4 wavemakers in the tank, and a few of my smallish leftover powerheads running in the sump to provide flow through the LR and around the chaeto.
mostly, my questions are about compatibility of my fish-to-get list, which is as follows:
harlequin tuskfish
yellow tang/purple tang
regal tang/ clown tang
flame/potter's angel
leopard wrasse
longnose hawkfish
royal gramma/ orchid dottyback/magenta dottyback
midas blenny
percula clown pair
what do you think of this list?
any advice on the order of adding specimens?
the tuskfish and tangs will be moved out of the tank and into my shark pond, which will be up in about 14 months, when they grow too big for the 4' tank.
which dwarf angel do you think is a better choice, in terms of reef-safe-ness? i will have mostly LPS in the tank with some SPS in the upper region, and i plan to acquire some clams.
thanks in advance.
