Well I'm going to have two 80 millimeter fans blowing in one side and a single 120 millimeter fan blowing out of the other side. The hood is going to be thin wood, probobly 1/4" material and the lights will have plenty of room on all sides for airflow.
The next question is...
Is there anything else I need to do to the tank to make it ready for coral life? Like in freshwater you pretty much have to do CO2 injection and stuff like that to make the plants healthy...
From what I understand all I need is a lot of flow, as much water as I can get, 1.22 SG, 8.3 pH, no ammonia, no nitrites, and minimal nitrates, as much live rock as I can afford (more SA the better), a good skimmer (which from what I understand my Seaclone is not the best but will work) and fish that will not eat the coral...
Anything else?
I don't have a sump...but am running a Rena Filstar xP1 in addition to the skimmer and my aquaclear 70 - model 802 PH
