Help with dream tank

[wattsupdoc]

I have 5 green chromis in my 135. No problems. Oh a little tiff here and there between them, but nothing serious. However they dont school...at all...

I had a longnose butterfly for 2 years before he jumped ship. Was a great fish, never any nipping or anything. Also, I had a Flame Angel for some time and never had any issues with him nipping. Some fish dont seem to get the memo that they are or are not supposed to be reef safe...

don't get a 240 tall(6ft), I have one and wish I would have went with a 180. I can't reach the 6inch sand bed without tongs and a stepladder. It's a pain to clean and if something falls or goes behind the rockwork it's a chore. I run 4 175 watt hallides with spider reflectors and I'm not very happy with the coral growth. The taller tank looks stunning, but if it's bioload you're worried about, just add more volume to your sump or fuge.

Talk about a hobby that's in the "the more you learn the more you realise you don't know yet" league ! Thanks again for all the tips. I think I should stay with a 180 G DT and try a 90 G sump/fuge. I do want corals and don't want the extra height.
