I have the opportunity to obtain a 92 gal drilled corner tank with sump and skimmer.
I currently have a 125 reef tank loaded with corals and reef friendly tankmates. So I understand the mechanics of cleanup and maintenance.
This 92 gal would be a fish only tank - looking at puffer, lion, trigger, eel
My question is what/who cleans up this FO tank?
All these fish are aggressive and would eat any cleaners. With my reef tank I let the coralline grow on the back and I keep the sides and front clean with a mag. My huge cleanup crew - hermits, 5 varieties of snail, sand-sifters, blennies, wrasses, cbs - takes care of a debris.
I know I would need to keep the glass clean, but what handles the debris? Would it need siphoned or weekly large water changes?
I currently enjoy the maintenance on my 125gal, its not alot and gives me time to relax and enjoy - more than doubling the effort may become too much like "work" I am afraid.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
