This goal for this tank will be as a peninsula against a while wall. I've always enjoyed this over a black background, as it seems to make it feel more like you are swimming in the ocean/the fish are floating. This was the largest tank I could fit through my basement door, and while still large I will be keeping relatively smaller sized fish (ie juveniles) and can re-home if any get too large too fast. I may be adding some soft corals or anemones as I go, but with the expectation that nothing will last. Open to all feedback/suggestions/stocking list ideas.
Stocking List (with more to be added):
- Triggerfish: Huma, Niger, and maybe Clown
- Angelfish: Flame, Emperor, Regal, Magestic
- Butterfly's: Pearlscale, maybe Threadfin or Racoon
- Other: Moorish Idol, Quoyi Parot Fish
- Clownfish: Maroon pair
- Tangs: Purple Tang, Yellow Tang, Convict, Sailfin, Blue Hippo, and maybe
Equipment:
- Tank: Planet Aquariums 215g standard 73x25x30
- Overflow: Modular Marine 1200gph Overflow
- Stand: DIY white cabinet
- Lights: 61" Aquatic Life T5 Hybrid fixture with Kessil's
- Controler: Neptune Apex EL
- Sump: Trigger Saphire 34
- Rock: TBD
- Sand: CaribSea Special Grade
- UV Sterilizer: Lifegard 120w (if needed)
- Ozone Generator: Ozotech Poseidon 200 (if needed)
- Skimmer: TBD
- Heaters: BRS Titanium for grounding & Eheim Jaeger
- Return Pump: TBD
- Wavemakers: Jebao CP-120's
