Help me with some planning

[Andrew]

Here's the deal.... I'm giving my tanks a break for about 6 months and than setting back up once I have collected all the equipment. I'll be using my 75 gallon AGA tank for the main tank and a 100 gallon rubber maid tub for the sump/fuge. So around 140 of water total. For lighting, I'll be using 6-54 watt T-5 bulbs which will be housed in a DIY canopy. The filtration will be pretty basic.... Well over 100lbs of liverock total. ( display and in the fuge ) I'll be using an Octopus Recirc Dual Pump Needlewheel 250 skimmer which can handle up to 300 gallons. My plans for fish as as follows:


5-8 Green chromis
Pair of True percula clownfish
regal tang ( yea, I now )
couple Longspine Cardinalfish
3 Lyretail Anthias


Kinda stocked but thats what the large skimmer is for. I'm hoping to get the tank up and running when I get back from Florida in January. Any thoughts?

Sounds reasonable to me as long as there is some swimming room left from "well over 100lbs liverock total". You've got plenty of volume and filtration so a slightly high load like that seems ok.

Some of that rock will be in the fuge with the lacerock I have right now as well.
