NPS Tank.

[Nano0424]

Hello everybody out there, I hope with this thread I can catch people that are really experience or well informed about NPS only tank. My questions are what are the necessities for having a successful NPS tank? Lighting? Filtration? Food? Food schedule? I read about this prior about the feeding schedule and it's pretty involved since NPS corals don't use lighting for feeding.

Current Tank:

Display Tank: 29g
Sump Tank: 15g (3 chamber)
Lighting: DIY 5 10w aquarium LEDs dilated to 50%
Filtration: Refugium (Rubble, Kelp), Nano Cube Protein skimmer.
Live Stock: Small colonies of grass polyps, Red Bubble Tip Anemone, Zoas, Leopard Wrasse, 2 paired Red Banded Gobies.

If you want pictures I will post them. I will move the polyps and the RBTA. Can I keep the Leopard Wrasse and the Gobies.

Feed need to be 3-4 times daily and if you keep fish it becomes more work due to the fish stealing the for from the NPS. There are ways to feed the NPS (2 liter containers) but if your looking at a whole tank of nothing but NPS IMHO would go fish less and be selective on my CUC.

Okay I will move my fish. And sorry but can you elaborate on CUC. And does my lighting and filtration fit the requirements for withholding NPS coral and maintenance?
