    Powerquad lighting

    I've seen them at my LFS, bright son of a guns, definitly comparable to 96watt or more and in a smaller more intense area. I have not tried them, so I can say how they work on a tank.

    Where To Start?.

    Even though it was a combo of 2 established tanks I would personally consider it a new tank and just start from there. But the is just my opinion.

    Well here it goes....

    I would definitly skip the damsels all together if you have no intensions on keeping them. Go with fishless cycle, It is not as interesting to watch but, when done you will be able to put the clowns in and not have to spend the time to catch the damsels

    When to add clean up crew to new tank?

    After the cycle has finished. My personal belief is to slowly add as needed. There are many sites that sell kits of 50 snails and 50 hermits and shrimp and everthying all at once. You ussaully dont need that many all at once and will end up losing some or having to feed your clean up crew.

    Tomato clowns.

    If not know mated pair then you best bet is to get them small like bang guy said. Also at the same time because sometimes the moving thing around does not always works.

    Snowflake Eels

    Micheal Eels will not most harm corals, the main reason peaple dont have them in reefs because they tend to snake on our shrimp which can be a very expensive snake.

    Cleaner (Skunk) Shrimp

    Mine are ok together in my 80gl, the cbs will chase the cleaner away from his spot if the cleaner wanders to close but they pretty much dont care about each other. Here is a lucky shot I got of them at feeding time...

    A Successful Reef Aquarium

    BE OBSERVANT: it will make the tank much more pleasant and interesting to study the entire system for hitchhikers and new stuff growing. Also most nuisances can be spotted early and dealt with before it can cause havoc. Like any algea usually starts in small patches, Killer crabs and mantis...
