New 80 Gallon Tank

[davidf4615]

Any suggestions for a new 80 gal tank? I now have a 24gal nano, the new tank has all the the gear. It is going to be a reef tank. Any suggestions would be helpful, as to fish, corals, inverts . The new tank has refugium,bioballs ,protein skimmer , chiller and T5s and metal halides.

Thanks,
David Ford.

You can either decide on the type of animals you want to keep (fish and corals, hopefully compatible and from the same general environment), or you can decide on the type of environment you want to keep (lighting intensity, flow magnitude, nutrient level in the water column, etc), and see what is compatible with that environment.

So, make one of the above decisions, and then it will be easier to give advice on the remaining parameters.
