I need your help. After beeing out of the fish game for a few years I am restarting my old tank. I am looking for setup recommendations as I have lost track of the current wisdom. I am planning on doing sea horses, small clowns, and BTAs with a tank or two for good measure. Below is a list of what I have on hand.
290 gal glass cages with center overflows moved to the back corners (it is installed in a wall) made of 4" PVC the tank is 72"x31"x31".
3x 250w metal halide 15k, 15k, 10k and an Icecap 660 (i need bulbs)
an iwaki rlt-55 and the iwaki 70 (the tank is drilled with 2-2" and 2-1.5")
about 100 lbs dead and clean live rock
enough sugar sand for 1" over the bottom
so i am thinking, but need advise.
1. epoxy rocks together to form a back wall with caves
2. buy two vho actinic or 6.5k daylight
3. rear spray bar facing the front
4. no sand under rocks (only in front)
5. rubbermade refugium with 8" reef special sand and cheto light on at night
thanks in advance for the help.
