100 gallon reef build

[Zactheninja]

I'm noticing that this mag 12 is really powerful.

Still getting the flow to where it doesn't mess with my overflow and it doesn't swish the sand.

 

[Zactheninja]

Good news!

Base rock is here.
I'll get pics when it clears up.

 

[Zactheninja]

Guys tell me what you think.

Looks like garbage. Im totally kidding. I absolutely love the nice open caves and overhangs. Looks amazing!

 

[Zactheninja]

Thanks.

I wanna add in one rock on the top to make one more little cave on the left side.
But I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Btw I've been watching your build and it's looking epic.

 

[Zactheninja]

Okay I'm satisfied with the scape now.

 

[huma-huma]

looks great! is there room on the backside of those caves for the fish to swim out of?

 

[Zactheninja]

Yeah, they could weave in an out pretty easily.

 

[Beengirl]

The tank looks great and I like the rock work a lot.

 

[Zactheninja]

Okay next to things I need to hit are lighting and skimmer.

I was looking at taotronics but now I'm not so sure.

And what's making looking for a skimmer hard is that I only have about a 1^1/2 under my stand.

 

[Zactheninja]

Progress!

Today i got more rock and did some edits to the hard scape and then added 5 chromis.
Then i ordered:
Refractor-meter
1/3 lights
Reef master test kit;i know, i should have gotten one a while ago but couldnt.
and some things for another tank.

Tell me what you think about the new hard scape, better than we old or?
Be blunt ^.^

 

[Beengirl]

I think it looks great!!! Looks like a happy home for some fish. You did a great job!

 

[MaiTank]

Love the new scape. Much more natural? Anyway love the build. Doing a 100 g myself. How much sand total is that?

 

[Zactheninja]

Thanks guys.

When it comes to rocks, im hard to please.

And i used 60 pounds of sand total, 20 "live" and 40 from reef rocks.

Alright now where getting to the fun part, tank should be ready for more decent fish.
Any ideas?
Only things i want for sure are a yellow tang, foxface, and a blue tang.
What else would go with these 3?

Tangs need six feet swimming room for what I was told. As stocking fish other experience member will chime in good luck

 

[Zactheninja]

Why would a tang need 6 feet?

 

[Khij159753]

It's gives them space to actually move around and swim fast. Otherwise they just feel a little cramped. Some tangs don't need 6 feet but in general it's a good guidline

The yellow tang should be fine, but the blue will probably get too big, actually.

Get a Ruby headed wrasse! So pretty!
Yellow eye kole tang
A couple of Bartletts anthias

It's late-that's all I got right now, can't think. Lol

 

[Zactheninja]

So no blue tang. Dang :/

Im going to google ruby wrasse.

Gotta keep in mind this is all going to have to be reef safe
