20+40gallon sump sps tank
 

Well i have been running a succesful 29gallon reef for the past year and primarly it was for sps but then i became a succer for the more mixed look so i added softies and i like it but i do miss the beautiful colors of the sps. the sps in there are doing very well actually. now i wanna start a 20gallon display with a 40gallon fuge creating a total volume of around 60gallons.

heres the plan

20gallon display
40gallon fuge with mangroves,cheto,dsb,lr,hermits,star fish
sump from the next door neighbors.
2 tunze 6025 power heads
1 250watt mh with 14k phoneix bulb/ attinics
bb tank with a piece of starboard on the bottom
50lbs of dried marco rocks(just to be on the safe side ill order alot lol)
i dont wanna buy a ca reactor due to the ph fulxuations so i will get aquamedic auto matic dosing pumps


i want this to be as nutrient free as possible but still having the propre amount of nutrients so the coral can thrive.

as for fish list in the tank they will be
1 six line wrasse
1 royal gramma
maybe a damsel of some sort

i will %100 qt as i have learned if u dont only bad things happen
so what do u guys think so far? ill post pics of the setup in progress when i get home

Sounds cool to me.

kool man but about the skimmer do u think it will be taking to much nutriets out of the water or no

Get one that does not work all that well, you will still be skimming but not stripping the tank of everything as soon as it hits the water.

6line wrasse and royal gramma will not be compatible. If you need help on what fish combine well, check liveaquaria.com's compatablity charts, it is very accurate/useful.

Sixlines aren't compatible with much, evil evil fish...

alright but mixed reef im not sure i quite understand what ur saying about this.if u would plz explain that would be greatly appreciated
