My current tank is an Oceanic 58g. The dimensions are perfect for a single metal halide pendant (provided it can handle a 3′ light spread). The tank has been up for several years and has gone through many grown pains. I’ve learn a lot about what not to do. I think the key with any tank, especially smaller tanks, is to keep the water quality up as all cost. Weekly water changes along w/ a nice protein skimmer is a must! This tank will be taken down once the 180 is up and running.
Here are the specs on the tank:
Tank: 58G Display w/ 15G sump.
Lights: 250W MH Pendant, T5 x2 36″ actinic supplement, 2x moonlights
Filtration: DAS Protein skimmer, Zeovit reactor, Carbon reactor (24/7)
Flow: 2 x Tunze 6025, Panworld 20 return, Vortech 40W, 3/4″ Seaswirl
