Hello all, I am planning a 40B reef build and could use some (or massive amounts) help. This will be my first foray into the world of saltwater, although I have wanted to have a reef tank for many years.
Below is what I am thinking, please let me know if I am off base or if you have a better recommendation.
Stocking:
My wife is set on a clownfish and anemone. Otherwise, I would like a couple small fish (blennys maybe?)
An appropriate cleanup crew (recommendations? how hard are starfish to keep?)
Corals- This is my main interest, I would like some SPS and soft corals. I would love recommendations for good starters here as well.
Tank: 40B with a 20 ish(recommendations here?) sump (dollar a gallon deal at petsmart)
1-2 inches of sand?
Live rock what would be an appropriate amount here?
Lighting, how would a Kessil A150W 10000k be?
Protein Skimmer How about the Reef Octopus 110 in the sump?
Return pump from sump Eheim Compact 1000 (~265 gph)
powerheads WP 10 (2x?)
* I apologize for people having to go find information on these parts. i added links to each of them originally, but I do not have enough posts to use hyperlinks.
Anything else I am forgetting?
Thank you to anyone who has read this and for any feedback.
