The reasoning behind the 6 inch tall tanks is, the shallower the tank the more light and the more oxygen the corals will have. For an SPS frag that is 1 inch tall it will grow much quicker if it is in this shallow of water as long as you properly adjust it to it at the beginning by lowering the light down towards it.
As far as the soft corals go, six inch deep tanks isn't a problem at all, and for lighting I am guessing some 6500K fluorescence is all I will need for those.
The other things I had in mind would be a sump/refuge with Chaetamorpha culture, as well as phytoplankton reactor. Obviously live rock will be incorporated. And I am thinking about doing a sand bed in the soft coral tanks for nutrient recycling, but bare bottom tanks in the sps tanks.
Any ideas on this stuff would be great, or criticism or suggestions.
Thanks
