60g Trying Again

char71324 · 11/23/2014, 07:42 PM

Whats up everyone. So I am trying this again. Have had my 60g for about 3 years. Kept coral about 6 months then got super busy with work and neglected my tank. Lost my corals and just kept it with fish only for a while. I am back up and running. Just stocked it up with corals. Looking for some general advice. Here is what i am doing and running:

I am running LEDs about 10 hours at 100% and 1 hr 60%. Water Temp 80 degrees. Salinity about 1.24. Water change 5g a week.

LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON FEEDING MY CORALS

My SPS Stock:
Lettuce Coral
Purple Acropora
Granny Smith Acropora
Orange Montipora

LPS:
Hollywood Stunner Chalice
Zoas
Frogspawn
Orange Leptastrea
Green Ricordea Florida

Animals:

3 Rose Bubble Tip
2 Turbo Snails
1 Blue Tang

I'd get your salinity up a little, either 1.025 or 1.026

I personally run a 65 and am looking to start adding some LPS or softies. Would love to hear what people say about lighting for a tank this size.

A blue tang should not be kept in that small of a tank.

I knew that was coming (and fairly so) I just hope someone will still give advice on lights for this tank size haha.
