I have been keeping freshwater aquariums my entire life, but just now getting the opportunity to dive into the salt side with a reef (in the planning stages now).
We are planning a 150-190 (4'long x 2'wide x 31"tall or 5'long x 2'wide x 31"tall) peninsula within our entryway. We are researching and learning and shopping now, but I wanted to make sure I have the basics before I buy anything.
- start off slow with fish and inverts (clean-up-crew) only
- move into soft corals (maybe one or two to start and add more once those go well)
- add one LPS
- add more LPS once those do well
- add one SPS
- add more SPS once those do well
Does that sound about right?
with the 150/190 peninsula, the back will actually be the "left" side of the tank, and the right side will be the "back". Both will be up against a wall/stairs, so I plan to put live rocks within these areas. My question would be, how much live rock should I expect to buy? Can I mix live rock with dry rock?
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
