Softie tank question.
 

What equipment do you run on your softie tanks? I am setting up my 90 gallon and so far I have the basics. Good lighting, sump and skimmer, good pumps for water flow, and lots of live rock.

Newhere,
Sounds to me like you have what you need. About the only thing you may need are the softies themselves. =)
I have noticed that there are quite a few people on the Softie forum who even run their tank skimmerless. Good luck! :cool:

I will also be adding a canister filter full of carbon. Thanks for the reply

Carbon is a good idea for a softie tank. I run an Aqua C Remora, dual 250 watt 14K metal halides, and two or three powerheads for circulation on my 55 gallon BB mixed reef. Sounds like you are off to a good start.

Heres what I run on a 120g

Flow:
4 Maxi-Streams on a Chauvet WaveMaker
Spraybar of the return pump
Swirler Stien w/ Maxi-Stream attached

Filtration:
2 ATScrubber 250's
30g Refugium
Phosban Reactor w/ Carbon in it
5" DSB
50 Pounds of Live Rock

Lighting:
2 150w 50k Iwasaki Metal Halides
4 65w PC's, 2 65k, 2 Actinic

Calcium/Alk:
Randys 2 Part System hooked up to a dosing pump with dual 5g reseviors

Ok this is what I have so far.

Tank is a 90 gallon RR.
30 gallon sump with a Nautalis TE
48" Coralife Pro HQI/Compact Fluorescent/Lunar Light Fixture it has the 2- 250 mh and 2 96w actinc.
2 Rio Seio 820's and a little giant 3md pump
About 4" sand bed and about 100lbs live rock.

I will use a Fluval 404 for the carbon.

looks good. now post pics. :-)
