OK here are some updates of the tank 2 months after the first pictures. I have re-aquascaped and added alot more coral, still no fish.

I would love to see this considering they are very hard to keep and if they die, bad news for the tank.

Krill

78-80

Well the zoos are pretty hearty you should be ok. I added zoos like week 4 with no issues they are doing great now, I did wait like 3 months to add fish though. Something to consider. I would also check your water temps. I add A and B from from Kent, this is on my small tank though.

Yeah it doesnt look like a fire worm to me, you might just leave it in see what it does, it may be good for the sand.

The did alot of havok to my tank.

did you get a picture? If it is a bristle, get it out of there, or buy a rasp, he will eat it.

I would say start with an inch maybe 70-80 pounds.

"Given the specialization of coral reef fish, it only seems apparent that the more natural and realistic the aquaria habitat which is provided, the more naturally the fish can interact with and behave in their captive environment. Their stress level will be lower, resulting in lowered incidence...

its not an issu. Look here lots of good stuff on filtration https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/182017/wet-dry-filters Also remember if you ever want to add sand it will be an issue, becuase you will need to remove alot of coral to do so. If you ever want to do it now would be the time.

Well some will say for a reef tank you need 10x your gal, so that would be 1000GPH but i'm sure you could get away with 800 with no problems.

Well my personal opinion is go with the sand only bed, its great bio filtration and your critters (i.e. star fish, hermits, gobie) will love it, once you get those critters that is. I would not put sand over the gravel, eith leave it or remove it and put just sand. Also Coral will need alot of...

Let their be light! You will need lots of it. I would go with MH Lights there is alot of information on said lights here.. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/170123/saltwater-aquariums-101-lighting

Thanks for the comment. Yeah I'm having someone else build it (seeing if they can...) That may be one of the stuggles in getting this going. I'll keep you posted.

Here are some more photos of the project. As you can see from the images below This tank is going into a sitting room, it will be cut through the wall behind it which is my living room (actual pictures coming soon).

Good Post, Yeah I was wondering about the size, I put it at 2 inch but I'm thinking 2½ or 3 at the most. When I spec it out i wasn't sure and there is no point in re-drawing the whole thing for .5-1 inch difference. Thanks for the heads up What is starfire?
