As this will be my first SWA, I want to get experience with a wide variety of SW lifestock. I plan on having multiple fish gradually added over time. My wife really likes the invertebrates so I easily see us getting into some of the corals that our light will support such as zoas, trumpet coral, frog spawns, etc. With this priority I would say a reef tank.

The reason why I added atrickle filter is to support a decent fish load. Does this make sense? I am cauteous to gradually build the bioload over time, but I do not see us getting into advanced or fragile fish, clams or hard corals anytime in the next 6mos to year.
