hey all i need some advice or for someone to brainstorm on what im gonna put in my tank lol so heres the layout the tank is as you all know 4x4x20" .....it has a section dived off at 36lx24wx20" origional plan was to house my snowflake eel.i believe its just about 75 gallons.

so all in all i have a " L " that is 130 gallons and a box that is 75 gallons

i was thinking possibly aggressive tank or non reefsafe in the 130 and do a mini reef in the 75 or i could do it vice versa have a small predator section and large reef any thoughts???

Picked up another 75 lbs of live rock yesterday so I'm up to about 130lbs and the rest will be tonga branch if I can find some dried. The rock I got last night has some really cool pieces and I got to pick out the best pieces from around 400lbs swweeeeeeettttt!!!!!!

Sump should be here next weekend along with replacement glass, light ring to mount my halides will be here by the end of the month. J finished the stand yesterday and got some 1" s&m foam for under my tank.

Lately alot if lights have fond there way into my house lol so here's what I got snd here's what I'm thinking

I have:

4x 400w pendants and ballast plus reflectors(no bulbs)
2x 250w fishneedit pendants and ballasts
48" Hamilton 2x175w metal halides plus actinics and ballasts
250 w mh retrofit plus ballast that runs 3x250w mh's
6 bulb t5 54w
4bulb retrofit actinics 39w

would you belive out of all this the only two I'm gonna use are the 2x250w fishneedit pendants I'll be buying 2 more I was also looking at the Cree led's and was thinking about buying 24 it would be 6 between each halide. Where my tank is only 20h do you think they would be alright?? thanks all

if someone has 2 250w fishneedit pendants and would like to do a trade for something in the list pls let me know
