I've had a saltwater tank since April now I started with a 100L tank running on a canister I had 2 fish clownfish and a purple dotty back. I've had many shrimps but sadly lost them all.

I decided to make myself a DIY plywood tank and this tank takes about 240L + 75L in the sump the tanks outer dimensions make it around 350L but obviously this isn't actual space due to wood ect

I'm looking for stocking recommendations as 2 fish in the size tank looks ridiculous

Also after any basic things I might be missing

Internal dimensions are
85x41x70cm

Tank is quiet deep being 28-30inches

What kind of tank are you wanting to achieve? Mixed Reef? LPS? SPS? Predator tank? Other?
What kind of lighting and filtration are you looking at? Do you have a water flow speed in mind?

Soft/LPS tank don't want to mess around with SPS until I'm advanced and the tank is well established

Lighting I'm looking at going with an AI prime in the meantime running off my old tanks light I'm just playing this by eye at the minute hoping the current corals do alright until I get my AI prime

Filtration is sump and return pump outputs around 1200-1500lph at the headheight of the tank (6ft)

Skimmer is an aqua one skimmer up to 500L tank

As for type of tank I'm unsure has to fit in with the current fish I listed above but other than that I'm open to suggestions
