Here's a little more info, it is a carwash so we have unlimited access to RO DI water, my father is use to changing filter media and knows a thing or two about aquariums so he can feed.
I was orginially planning a reef tank with 20K metal halides but after thinking i will not be able to check levels and adjust every week, but i will be able everyother week to check up on the aquarium.
if we QT the fish first, it would make sense that a parasite would not enter the aquarium. i use pink fiji sand in my aquariums now, so im thinking of continuing with this, i do want to go with the plastic inserts for the color and easier maintance. LR for the biological filtration is good but i dont know if it is worth putting it behind the plastic inserts as we plan to put the inserts in the middle of the tank.
Ok back to the fish, is the general rule the larger fish the later they should be put in?
Like the emperor angelfish should be last?
Plastic inserts?....
why?? You could just make sure the lighting isn't ridiculous... just run 3 150w MH metal halides on a 6x2x2 180gallon.. or you can fork out the cash for a 6foot or 2 3foot T5HOs... if the lighting isn't too too intense the rocks will color up with coralline which will look nice in the FOWLR without the need for fake plastic stuff...
Definitely stock in increasing order of aggression...
