10 gallon frag tank

ejv1013 · 01/20/2012, 02:57 PM

Has anyone attempted to do a 10 gallon frag tank on here? If so can you guys please give me your inputs? I would like to attempt this sometime in the near future and would like to know the pros and cons along with the recommended equipment that is needed and my limitations on the about of frags I can have in the tank.

Thank You in advance

Is this going to be a stand-alone frag tank or will it be plumbed into the DT? Sump or no sump? I think a tank of that size would be easier to maintain of plumed into the DT. You can eliminate the need for some equipment gong this route. I think maintaining consistent water parameters is also very important.

Limitations on the amount of frags can vary. You don't want chemical warfare going on between corals in the frag tank.

Take a look at the nano tank forums. Frag tanks arent really much different from your typical reef tank, as far as pros and cons. JMTC & GL!
