Just picked up a 114gal tank,36x24x30.5 today from Keith in Drayton valley(went to see his newest tank,totally worth the 1.5 hr drive :mrgreen: )
I need some suggestions on wether or not to make it into a reef or go fish only,and some ideas for livestock.What would you do with a tank of these dimensions???? :biggrin:

Gonna have to put 6inch sand bed just to touch bottom.My sebae can grow with no worries now. :biggrin:

Was thinking the spare 250w 10k mh with actinic,but since its 30in high,maybe 400w ?
I would love to set up a small reef(tall column,with swimming space all around)with a few small corals and fish from the same area(indo-pacific,etc)but try to keep to smaller species.

He ythere jim i would make your new tank, a REEF tank and have a\hardy anything in there a few wrasses and and star fishes 3 of them a couple blue ones and 1 red one along with some conches and a few shrimp
this would be asome mimi pure reef .hardy any fish either
and for lighting i would run a 1x250 12K-14K bulb on there along with a hagen glow -matt with 24 " actinic bulbs for 2

that is what i would do ..\
