What’s up guys
So I’ve decided I need a tank in my room too! Lol
I cleaned out my 40 Breeder coral QT tank and have it now setup with water rocks and filter. My goals for this tank is to go full LPS in this tank primarily Scolys, Hammers, Torches, and Acans (or whatever you call them now).
filtration will be - AquaMaxx hang on filter/skimmer
Flow - 1 Nero 5 and might add a gyre I have laying around
Controller - I got an apex for this tank too since I will be doing daily auto water changes on this for maintenance
Lights - Radion xr15 gen 4 and Kessil A160
Heater - random one I have nothing special
Rocks - starting clean new dry rock and cycle will not even use any of the bio blocks from other tanks been a while since I did a cycle and I want to run through it again - fishless but with bio added (no raw shrimp stuff this is my room lol)
overall I want this to be a super simple setup and rely on dos for daily water change and mostly just keep my hands out
Fish stocking list - here is where I need some help
I want to go with some active fish that won’t mind the bare bottom. NO tangs since the main display downstairs already has several and right now it’s a constant Wrestlemania down there and I don’t want to add any more tangs to the big tank. I love wrasse but the big tank also has a really aggressive wrasse that is large and I won’t be able to move any wrasse that outgrow the 40 to the main tank. I need ideas on fish that can live in this 40 long term and if they do outgrow that’s fine if they are not wrasse or tangs. I also do not want more clowns as I already have some in different tank. What do you guys recommend?
