Yep, shallow tank with maximum surface area to maximize the number of frags you can grow. The shallow water will serve a couple of benefits. First and foremost, maximizes the light that gets to the frags, next like you say it makes it easy to get to the corals etc., finally I think the increased surcace area helps out a lot with gas exchange and can help maximize gas exchange.
Fuge can let you culture macroalgae and other goodies. I personally like going with no substrate, in a setup like you are going with. Saves money and there isn't much need for one, other than a place for macro algae to root in. Rubble rock or coarse substrate seems to encourage more pods to grow in, but also accumilates detritus more rapidly which can increase the nutrients in the water. Again, depending on the type of corals you want to grow that might not be a bad thing. |
