Talking 240 g reef rebuild
Ok, just did a complete tear down of my 240 reef. Now lookin a little better. Starting to re-populate corals in tank. This time round Im goin with SPS and LPS as mainstay. Currently there is 400W 14000k MH front and centre of tank. The plan is to filp to led when have enough dough.

Very High intensity light near surface (tp 6-8 Inche). Thank has massive rock structure high and centre.

Calcium reactor up an running (slowly for now).
Looking for suggesions on what to put in. Any input welcome (but I may not listen. . .lol) What to dose for sps and lps success, ECT.

Good to hear the tank is coming back to life. The key to SPS is going to be patience, water clarity and flow.

Once your tank is up to speed on any re-cycle it may go through, then I would start looking to go with some LPS first...it tends to be more forgiving in my mind. It wouldn't hurt to go through a fish list on here as well since some of those little guys we like to keep tend to reek havoc on SPS.

PM me and we can get together for a brew to go over your plans.

Well, spent Saturday flooding my house with 50+ gallons of water. WOOHOO. My wife luvs me so much. Using a python (sink in Kitchen) to drain my tank for water change (living room) when a cloth "fell" into the sink plugging the drain. Did not notice till i heard the Waterfall. DAMMIT!

Scrubbed algae from rock, and slapped my protein skimmer about. I love salt tanks.
