A local reefer and I are VERY interested in starting a dedicated
Frag Tank. Not for the sole purpose of selling frags but to be able to grow our own cultures from small inexpensive specimen and watch them grow and morph into new and exciting critters.
I have some questiosn for those who are more experience in fragging (more = ANY expereience fragging).
We are thinking of a 1' tall tank there by making it so much easier to work with the tank. Maybe something in the 20 gallon range... maybe more?
We want to keep it a standard dimension of length so we can use standard store bought lights. Right?
If it's only 12" deep can wereally justify MH lights? Aren't they more intended for better water penetration?
Since no fish will be introduced to this tank can we fore-go the LR and use another filter system?
If you were setting this up in a basement where "decor" wasn't an issue would it be:
Bare bottom
Live Sand
Live Rock
Canister Filtration
HOB Filtration
MH lights
PC lighting
I think we are going to attempt to utilize the "Egg Crate" shelfs with plugs
Now about plugs......
Any reason why NOT to use ceramic plugs as opposed to reef plugs that require soaking/cycling?
Thanks for your input.
