set up and fish list?

set up and fish list?
my tank is 100 gal, and 40" by 24" by 28", with about a 60 litre sumo, with some filter ppads in their. There is also a deltec apf 600 skimmer run by aqua bee 2000 and a deltec 509 fluidised bed full of rowaohos run by aqua bee 500. There are two heaters one a 300 w and the other a 150w. There is a deltec hlp 4040 as a returnthat moves around 4000l/h, to the hole in the bottom of the tank. The weirs are two corner ones that are only up at the surface, and all the piping is 1 1/2".

at the moment circulation in the tank is by a tunze 6000 stream pump which moves around 7000l/h and a or1200 on a closed loop system. and the tunze is turned off at night one hour after actinics are turned off. i plan to have two of the unze with the syestm so is controlled and lower the power at night and work as a wave maker.

the lighting is by a single 250 watt metal halide with two actinics, that is 70cm long, by arcadia, which is on for 10 hours a day, with the actinics on for 12 ours, also i have a small blue actinc that i use as a moon lamp, that is on when the metal halide os off.

i have got about 60kg of live roch and lots of polps and mushrooms, that i got second hand.

i plan to have a variety of hard and soft corals, including a aneneome and a clam.

the fish i would like to have in the tank, are two common clowns, a regal tang, a yellow tang, and 5 green chromis, and maybe 3 wreckfish?

does this sound okay?

i gotta get me and the little one ready for the day. so i dont have much time to respond. but the setup sounds pretty good to me. i've never heard of any of the pumps you listed, save for the tunze. must be british pumps?

if these are heavy duty pumps, combined with the metal halides, you may find you wont even need the heaters. though they'd be good for backup. i'm running a mag 18 closed loop pump. a sen6100? for my return from the sump. an aquaclear powerhead in the display to keep my clown happy (it hosts with it) and a small maxijet 400 in the fuge to keep it moving in there. and my heaters never come on. i cant get the water temp below 80 with the pumps running. so i've unplugged the heaters, and am adding a fan this week to try to lower the temp just a bit.

i'm horrible with metric conversions, and too lazy this morning to try and figure them out. so i'm not sure how long your lights are, or the gallons per hour on the pumps. but it sounds like you put some research into them, so i'm gonna off hand say everything sounds good

i'm sure many others will chime in for ya, and give some more advice and warm welcomes!

cool thanks for the reply, yeah the light is 28" long and my tank is 40"long, the light is alos a little bit thinner then the tank, but not by much.

yeah the main pump which is the deltec hlp 4040, german, returns about 1000 gallons a hour, but thats not conting for changes due to the plumbing.

the other pumps, the two aqua bee 2000s run at about 444 g per hour, as the aqua bee 500 runs at about 111 gallons per hour. but i dont know if i count that towards the water movement?

and then there is the tunze 6000 which you know about which moves around, 1555 g per h. but i do intend to get another 6000 and then run them on a multicontroller.
