Dai89's 7x2.5x2

[Dai89]

UPDATE TIME:

I've had a few changes throughout the months on what fish I want in the tank, what I want lighting the tank and what corals and inverts I want to keep.

I've managed to organised a Skimz SM302 for the skimmer.

I've also ordered a pair of Jebao RW20s, and I may add 2 tunze stream 3s next year.

For lighting I've going to trial both LED and T5 ( it sounds horrible I know), I've got a 6 x 54w ati powermodule for the middle of the tank, and then 2 kessil A 360wes to cover the sides. I will most likely purchase a 10x80 watt or 8 x 80 watt Pacific Sun diuna next year as well.

For Livestock, I'll still have LPS but the tank will be predominantly Acropora/montipora.

I love the idea of Russian roulette and recently wacthed Austin Lefevre's presentation at MACNA on the BRS website, so I'll be getting a few pairs of angelfish for this tank. At this moment I'm looking at Chaetodontoplus Meredithi (false personifer) or Doublayi (scribbled). So I'll be getting a pair when I return from the US in January.

the final stocking list is now looking like;
pair of Chaetodontoplus sp
pair of geniacanthus sp
zebrasoma desjardinii
1 salarias fasciatus
pair of amphipirion occelaris
2 cirrhilabrus (naokoae in particular)?
7 to 8 dispar anthias (probably in 2019)?

I'll think about whether it's worth my while adding the fairy wrasse and anthias, as I would rather have a lower number of livestock that is well fed than a huge number of fish fighting to feed. I will be feeding 8 times a day.

I've moved away form Cryptic fish as they seem likely to perish and whilst they look cool, I'd rather not lose fish.

Either way I aim to put a few pics up by mid-November of the tank once it is built.
