Hm. Must. Make. Not. Longwinded. . .
Hm, well, after all that my tank has been through, I think I want to upgrade it. I'm still just hoping and planning for the moment, since there's a slight chance I'll be moving cross country at the end of the year and would rather have a smaller tank to move than a bigger one. Anyway. I'm looking for a 24X24X12" tank. So far it looks like I'll have to build one since the only place I've seen that size for sale at is glass cages. Definitely not going with them.
As for livestock, I plan on a coral heavy, fish light tank. I am going to have 2 blue leg hermits(may up that to 3 *shrugs*) a few(up to 5 of each species, more like 3 for most though) nerites, nassarius and ceriths. Probably a single fish, a yellow tail blue damsel. Maybe a different one, but I'm going to limit it to one small fish only. As for coral, I(currently) have a montipora digitata, a candy cane, a hammer, a lot of zoanthids, some FL ricordeas, a green striped mushroom, a maze brain and some sort of unidentified clove/xenia type of thing.
For my lights, would a 150 MH be enough? Or would I need more than that? The only sps I want to have is my montipora. So I don't have to have a ton for anything else, but I want everything in the tank to have enough.
The lighting is my biggest question at the moment, but thanks in advance for any responses :)
