I am converting an All Glass Aquarium 72gal bowfront from FW to SW. It currently has a 20gal wet/dry filter/sump, and 2x 22w normal FW florescent lighting.
I am looking at doing a FOWLR system and am anticipating having the following fish in the tank (at least to start, may add more later):
* Percula Clown
* Yellow Tang
* Blue Tang
* Royal Gramma Basslet
* Peppermint Shrimp
I am considering Soft Corals and anenomies at a later date (beginning of 2007 at the earliest).
My questions are:
1a) Has anyone heard of or used T6 lighting? b) would that be acceptable for what I am wanting to do? c) do I even need to change my current lighting?
2) Would a skimmer for a 100gal tank be large enough?
3) Would approximately 75lbs of live rock be ok? (my wife and I have a rough design in mind for the tank. It might be a bit more or less not 100% sure right now).
4) What are some items to look for when purchasing LR?
5) Planning on seeding some current marine sand that I have, with some LS from one of the LFS's currently established tanks. Any concerns with this?
6) The tank was a SW setup prior to me aquiring it. It has a pretty strong water flow (almost too strong for my FW setup). I was considering purchasing 2 power sweep power heads (1 on each side of the tank). Would that be too much?
Thanks so much for your advice.
