recomendations for a clean up crew?

[clownfish cj]

Hey everybody,

I'm almost there in getting everything I need to start my tank! Here is what I am going to set up:
1. 56 gallon glass tank 30x18x24 with built in overflow
2. 20 gallon high glass tank for sump.
3. Reef Octopus Protein Skimmer NWB110
4. Danner mag drive supreme 5 (500 gallons per hour)
4. 30" T5 light fixture with 1 10K light and 1 420 Actinic light
5. 2 Hydor Koralia Evolution 750's

I think I am going to do 25 pounds live rock and 25 pounds dry rock with 2 inches of live sand.

With the different size tank and smaller bottom what kind of clean up crew would you recommend?

Also if you have any suggestions about the equipment I am going to use that would be great to. (I haven't ordered the skimmer sump pump or powerheads yet.)

Do you still have questions about the clean up crew? :)

 

[clownfish cj]

ya, I do.

Also, do you think the equipment for the tank is sufficient?

Your lights will need to be stronger to keep corals. Look for a 4 or 6 bulb T5 fixture. I would also go with a slightly stronger return pump. It's going to lose quite a bit of power due to head loss (the distance it has to pump water upwards back to your tank). The rest looks great.

Thanks!

I will order another of the same T5 light, I got this fixture for $50 though my LFS. I was also thinking about getting 1 lunar led strip light for a night light. what do you think?

I will go with the 700 GPH pump, that should be good enough.

Sounds good -- that pump is a better choice.

Lots of people like lunar lights. The tank tends to look different at night.
