how did I miss this tread...LOL...sorry about the losses. I would make it a local species tank and use the local water too.....no MHs, no chiller and all that extra equipment...just a big skimmmer....collect all the tropicals that are in the area now.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

Have the bigger skimmer, just might make it a fish only still with some softy's and clams and rbta's island

 

[saggese820]

how would you suggest collecting all the tropics in the area?

Your par readings will be fine for corals if you properly place light hungry species towards the top 24" of the tank. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There are some incredible t5 lighting systems out there that put out an incredible amount of light with the flexability of various spectrums as well....:splitspin
