Aquarium Advice Addict
Greetings. I am seriously considering setting up a 27 gallon hexagonal tank as a reef setup. However i have never seen one in a hex tank (just thought it would be interesting to say the least). I say reef because my fiancee has always loved corals (brain amonst other styles). I know they are the hardest to maintain but i am seriously up to the task. The problem is that i haven't had a lot of time to really research what i will need besides the obvious stuff like a protien skimmer, light w/ moonlights, test kits (have already), RO filter system (or purchased RO water), a filter system and some power heads. I plan on having a bunch of cleaning shrimp/hermit crabs in the tank, plus LR and LS (i am unsure of the amounts needed or the calculation needed to figure it out). I know personally that the only fish i am really interested in having in the tank is a mandarin goby. There then that i am pretty open to 1 other fish in the tank. I know that i seem sketchy but it is just the starting stages for me as it probably wont' be happening for some time. I am mostly looking for information and advice on starting one up (my angel fish spawning is enough for me right now)
