I'm going to have a tank made that is 20in wide, 18in deep and 16in tall to fit in my cabinet near my betta's tank. The volume comes to around 25gal and i have at least 30 lbs of sand so far and a 6.4lb chunk of live rock. It is sitting in a tank cycling with 10gal of packaged salt mix in ro/di water till I can get my show tank made, and switched over to the show tank.
I will have plenty of lighting, my local fish guy helped me with my purchase in that regard.
First question, how much circulation do I need for a carpet anenmone, feather duster, a sponge or two and other starter corals?
Fish: I'm going to add a pair of Black Ocellaris, some blue leg hermits, Mandarin Dragonet pair.
I have a Rio skimmer filter combo, and will have another filter on the tank to act as refugiums.
Should I have a mesh lid?
Is there anything else I should add?
Thank you for your time and consideration!
