Well after much heart breaking my 100g starphire
dream tank doesn't seem to be happening at this time in
my life for many reasons. The next best alternatives are a 37g or a 55g acrylic tanks. Tank costs are not an issue for both. I live in the 3rd floor of a FL apartment, still a little edgy that a 55g is safe up there but i do think it'd be alright, anyone have thoughts on if it'd be alright or not?
I'm leaning towards the 37g but once again definitely not made up my mind. If so, i'd like to turn over my tank 30x an hour. I will be doing a sump, would u reccomend running all the waterflow through the sump and than pumping it back in to the tank through an OM squirt or keeping the sump and the CL seperate? i think 1200gph is pusing it on the sump but maybe not, sump size will either be 20 or 30 gals. if i did the 30g would it be alright?
I will have to buy all new lighting for it. reccomendations? i was thinking about T5's or 1 MH, i would like to be able to keep everything.
and lastly, what kind of fish and corals would u reccomend for that size of tank? I want to do at least 2 clownfish and a anenome. Are flame angels out of the question? I dont have a problem of returning the fish if it gets too big as long as i can keep him for at least a year. I'd like to have as broad a pick as possible. Suggestions? thanks guys for any help you can provide.
