| Cabbage Leather | Who has a frag tank and why? What is everyones reason for having a frag tank? Lets see some pics of your frag tank while your at it! I will start by saying that having a frag tank will help reduce the amount of human interaction on the natural reefs. Many of my corals were picked up off the natural reef, so if I grow a few extra polyps and give them away, or sell them for cheap, I know I will be doing nature a favor. I have a 20g long with 130w of PC light. currently there is nothing in there because I just sold everything ![]()

| The CodFather ~ | Re: Who has a frag tank and why? The reason I decided to incorporate a frag tank into my plans was becuse the reefclub that I am a member of routinely swap frags at every meeting and they also hold a large frag swap once a year ...so for me it was more of a social decision. heres mine being built ... A day at the shop

| Do I look as lost as I am ![]() | Re: Who has a frag tank and why? I have a 10g Frag tank. It's got 130W fixture over it. The reason: Well I started in this hobby with that tank. Then I finally upgraded to my 90g set-up. Initially I had planned to take the 10g down when the 90g was "functional" but then decided to use it as a grow-out/frag tank. Once I added the 130w light fixture my corals took off like crazy. So I figured "Make hay while the sun is shining". Started out like this.. ![]() then grew into this... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I need to get some more recent pics... maybe after my weekly water change (tomorrow night) I'll try to take some recent pics. ![]()
__________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!! Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%. Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
