Which tank?


Right now I have an established 46gallon bowfront, and am in the process of setting up a 90gallon. I want to do one of them a reef tank, with peaceful community fish, and one of them a predator tank. Sofar, the plans are to do the 90 as the peaceful tank, as it'll be a much better looking tank for corals, I think. And the fact that I read that you cannot have predator type fish with the corals. For lighting on the 90, I've got a Aqualight 4x65w w/fans, and a 2x55w w/ 50/50 bulbs. The 46 just has the light that came with it, with a 50/50 bulb installed. Any suggestions?

Welcome to TRT!
well befroe you look at the lighting and which tank is best..
lets make a list of fish and corals that you might want.
one list for the predator tank, one list for the peaceful tank.
this will give you an idea of how big a tank you will need for each set.

What fish are you planning on keeping? most of the predators (groupers, wrasses,Lions ect) get large and would do better in the larger tank.
