We moved a few months ago from Texas to Colorado and I am ready to start my new tank here. I have settled on a Planet Aquarium 150 with a few mods from their standard 60” by 24” by 25” footprint including lateral seam protectors. I am pretty sure I will use an external overflow but not sure if it will be the Tideline or a Modular Marine. The plan is to have the overflow offset to the right of the tank to make it easier for plumbing access.
While waiting on the tank, I have laid out some of the rock I am going to use. The piece on the left if made up of 5 Cornerstone brand artificial rocks, the middle is a piece of Haitian rock and the piece on the right is made of several Cornerstone artificial branch rocks. Scale doesn’t show well in this pick but a good sized angel could make its home in the branch rocks.
My focus is more in fish than corals. When I setup a reef tank I tend to add all the invasives along with nems and they seem to work it out over time. I love jawfish, tile file wrasses and angels. Fingers crossed that Poma Labs will be successful with captive breeding of Scribbled angels. In my experience Scribbled angels have always been the friendliest. With that many species of jumpers, the top will need a screen for sure.
More to come ,,,
