I am gonna be starting to stock my 240 gallon reef. Suggestions please!

Well what do you want, personally a reef is the most fascinating but people are different. I like to see everything I can possibly can have in ST tank. If you want that? You'll have to be very careful of your fish as lots love to munch on corals which can be pretty pricey and can in some cases contaminate your water parameters by the coral decaying

Well I have always ha aggressive triggers and puffers and lions and eels and things like that and I am gonna go a different direction and go small more mellow fish, the most aggressive fish I want it my tank are some tangs.

Most of my fish are reef friendly, here's an option? My tank is only 150gallon. Give me a sec to copy and paste it

That sounds exactly what I want! Could you post a picture of your tank? It sounds beautiful.

Wow I love it. What filtration and lighting do you run?

Wow I love it. What filtration and lighting do you run?

I go Berlin (on top 2 skimmers and an aquaclear 110) style for filtration and Bridgelux LEDs, 480watts

Nice nice, beautiful tank.

I intend to look at my 55 gallon reef more??

 

[ivan_dalmatia]

Only 6 little fish that you don't even notice in there, but corals..... Wow, just speechless!!!

 

[Triggersgalore]

That's a 55? Wow! How come not very many fish?

 

[ivan_dalmatia]

If you plan on a Berlin style of filtration I suggest of 1.5-2lbs of live rock to gallons!

 

[ivan_dalmatia]

That's a 55? Wow! How come not very many fish?

It's pretty much a qt, so if a fish does get something off me buying corals ( corals or anything go in this tank first, for a month or so, so no introduction if anything else that I don't want, to go into my DT) I won't put in till treated!

 

[Triggersgalore]

I have about 200 pounds of live rock.

 

[ivan_dalmatia]

I have about 200 pounds of live rock.

i have over 350 in a 150g so? I think you'll need a bit more for a 240 to run a Burlin

 

[Triggersgalore]

Ya idk about burlin much but I am just running a 65 gallon fuge.

 

[Triggersgalore]

What is burlin? I may be interested.
