Keep a small reef, and a large FOWLR. at least then you can keep some of the bigger angels and triggers etc.

was thinking along the same lines EJ

One of the issues of keeping a large reef is the cost of livestock and supplements, not to mention the equipment. My 650 litre tank has two 54watt T5's lighting it, and i only dose a little calcium and mag to feed the corraline. I have a heavy fish load, and i can basically keep any fish i want.

 

[Mekaeel]

exactly.the cost to keep a large reef is a bit steep

The budget for my 3mx1m came to about R150K

my wife is more crazy than me,she'll make me get a tank size of Ushaka

 

[AndreT]

she'll make me get a tank size of Ushaka

Then I don't get what the problem is...

Heres an idea.....
If you have an extra tank amybe a 4ft, transfer all your livestock and water into this tank for now...

Then dismantle your 6ft tank and use the glass to make a 1000mm X 1000mm X600mmHigh Cube tank and fill this up with SPS....

Just a thought..
