Hey Guys,

Just upgraded from a 120 to this 220.... What do you guys think of tank?? Running Oceanic Model 2 Sump, Coralife Pro 72 Inch Retro Kit Halides in Canopy..... DAS Protein Skimmer... 1700 GPH Pump... Oceanic 1/2 HP Chiller. 200 LBS Live Rock came over from old tank...

Do I have room for one more big fish??? I really want a Blonde Naso Tang, and possibly a few more wrasses.. Would you say I am maxed out?? Tank is 72 wide x 24 deep x 30 high...

Thats quite a bit of fish,but thats a pretty big tank also. Looking at the pics, it looks like the fish have room. So space wise it seems ok. Whatre your perameters of the water? That seems like itd be the real way to tell if you can fit more of a bioload in there. Im not too familiar with DAS skimmers.

With that Tusk, what do you have for a cleanup crew? I am cycling a 220 at the moment, only diff is i have 430 gal system tied to it.

Clean up crew is fine. My tusk is a wimp and doesn't eat anything other than what I feed him...
