Starting 65 gallon reef tank
 
Just wondering where i can get live rock while not spending more than $200. I all ready have 20-25 pounds. Also what is a good sand sifting fish/star.

Thanks for the info and offer Mik 101

I have a pump listed at 580 g/h that I am hoping to use in the sump is this enough, I do have others and I am only looking for circulation between sump and tank as I do have Powerheads/Korallas(?)(propellors)

Thanks

Thanks Redrover,
What would be a good Angelfish in a 65G reef along with a tang, Thinking powder brown.

Fish
 
I would go with the smaller angels...Flame / coral beauty...you take a chance with angels as some like the taste of corals.
Tangs : yellow / purple...tangs are swimmers so they need lots of room:robot:

Like Redrover said in a 65g you could consider dwarf angels, depending on what else you want to keep. As for tangs I would strongly recommend to avoid them, they require a good deal of swimming length to remain healthy, as well the minimum tank size is probably around 100g or so.

What is happening with your system now? Is it full of water, or just waiting to be assembled?

As for a good sifter, you might try a sand-sifting starfish. They are pretty low cost and they don't dump sand on your corals sitting lower in the tank. I had two golden head sleepers that did a great job but everything in the tank was covered in sand. The starfish has kept things even cleaner and he doesn't harm a thing.
