Ive been rasing freshwater fishes my entire life and finally decided to mess around with saltwater. Ive been doing alot of research for the past few months but still needs alot of tips and ideas from everyone. Im planning on going with mainly live rocks and a few corals but still undecided how to lay everyting out. Any landscaping ideas? Here are my plans along with some more pictures of the tank itself and the sump that came with it. Place I purchased everything from said that the sump is ready to go and the only thing that I would have to occasionally do is rinse the blue sponge and the canister from the protein skimmer. I was thinking of throwing a few live rocks in there but not sure if i needed it. Any opinions???????
Tank Specs
115 Gallons 3/4 cylinder
back flat wall 28 inches
tank depth 36 inches
Tank width 32 inches
I'm planning on using 3 power heads, not sure if this is enough???? 2 all the way on top in each corner (to hide the wires) pointing down. And 1 more in the middle towards the bottom of the overflow with the wire running through the overflow box to conceal it. (the overflow box has a double wall so running through the first one wont mess anything up. If i could get away with out putting any in the bottom, that would be even better....?
Still doing research on something to automatically monitor all the parameters of the water for me. Any suggestions?
Main issue that Ive run across so far is finding an LED light that will work in a setup this deep. Ive spoken to boost led so far and they said that I could use 2 of there 135w lights. i would prefer to go with a single unit so im still shopping around. Any suggestions?
