Hi there, I am new to the game. I have a nano (2ft or 60lt) FO with 1 small piece of live rock. I have an in the tank small skimmer and an all in one filter and heater. I do about a 30% water change every 2 wks. I have 2 clowns, 1 banana wrasse, 1 turbo snail, 1 hermit crab and 1 cleaner shrimp. I have 2 T5s - one blue, one white and 1 power head (600lt/h).
I have about 2cm crushed coral. The tank has been going for 6 wks and nothing has died yet . I know fish only are easier and I am planning my "new tank".
Here are my thoughts. I want a smaller display tank, but something that is longer for some tangs. PLus it won;t cost as much to stock with coral, annemonies and fish. But I want a big filter sump and fuge. The tank I am guessing to be about 900x300x300 (90lt) then to have a 60lt sump (with skimmer, mechanical filter and ???? suggestions) and 60 lt fuge (15cm dsb and cheato). Because the tank is not that deep - will 4 T5s be sufficient (2 blue - 2 white).
Value your input as I begin this venture.
