Suggestions for some tanks

[zenfish]

at archer fish aquariums we are gonna have a couple of tanks to use some "methods" on, I was thinking one tank get korallen-zucht.de stuff, although it is expensive. This would mean probably exclusively that stuff.

any suggestions for another method?

any products people like or equipment?

How about a display with a PAX-Bellum reactor like Prattreef has?

Maybe have some tanks with exclusive lighting like one with radions, one with kessils, and one with AI hydras so that people who shop for coral don't need to acclimate them to their lights as much?

thanks man, yes we will have most of the LED companies products displayed in the store. Ill look at that reactor too, thanks.

How about bare bottom setup vs sand in large display tanks. It's always easier to add sand but pia to remove for those thinking of doing that

bare bottom tank.... yeah maybe.... thanks... maybe a red sea can be bare bottom w/ an sps set-up.

3 SPS tanks, preferably heavily into acropora, from a common sump so as to eliminate chemistry differences. Try to keep the same acropora in all 3 tanks with similar flow as well. Would go a long way to demonstrating the differences in growth / color etc between different lighting.

Tank 1: Radium MH's with the correct ballasts for whichever you choose 250w vs 400w.
Tank 2: T5/LED hybrid. (ATI T5 IMO)
Tank 3: all LED (Ecotech Radions IMO)

if they are in the store, I'd have to sell from them. but most likely the selling reef tank will be one display with all three types of lights, maybe small halide.

Well yeah, that's sorta what I was driving at. If I was to come in looking for say, a Red Planet, and there are frags in each of the 3 tanks, I'd buy the one from the T5/LED hybrid tank because that's the lighting I run myself.

yeah I dunno about having a frag of each, in each tank, but we can certainly move it for you.
