Aquarium Advice Freak
So im planing a shallow reef with a deep blue 30g frag tank. This will be a long build starting the first of next month ranging to February or so . I used to have a 75g FOWLR and failed miserably because of bad planning and not knowing about this forum until it was to late. So that being here I'm back to seek advice and supply my part list to see what you guys think. The tank will be running a DIY 20g tall sump just because i already have it do you guys think i will have enough light to keep clams anemones lps sps and whatever else I want. The canopy will be custom built suspended 8-10 inched from the tank with with chains from the ceiling. 2 do you guys think i will have adequate flow without having a sand storm.Has anyone ever used that particular skimmer or can recommend one at a fair price. Lastly what are yalls input on potential inhabitants. Any and all input opinion and experiences will be appreciated and respected.
