Hello, I have a 55 fowlr and I would like to switch it to a reef tank. The plan I am considering would still take more consideration but this would just be a rough draft. Currently the equipment I have includes: a 350 magnum pro system including biowheels, a seaclone skimmer, a pc pendant 96 watts, 80 watts of standard fluoresent light, powerheads, air pump, and ro/di maxima unit 35 gdp. The current residents include a clean up crew, cleaner shrimp, firefish, clownfish, sixline wrasse and yellow tang all fully grown with the tang being the largest at a little less than 4 inches. I have 40-50 lbs. of lr and cc for substate. I was thinking of removing the 350 magnum filter and in place making a refugium with a small container around 10 gallons maybe. If I were to do this I m debating whether or not to keep the biowheels by hooking them up to a powerhead to keep them going. The 96 watt pc pendant which I would remove from the display tank I would use to light the refugium. The lighting that I intend use for the 55 would be a compact fluoresent hood consisting of 6x55 watt bulbs. This would mean i would have 6 watts per gallon. I would like to hear your opinions about this and any changes you would make to this setup.
