6g frag tanks with or without fish?

Reefing.with.Rich · Mar 31, 2023

I have two 6gallon frag tanks I’m setting up and was curious what everyone’s opinion is on having fish or being fishless.
I just can’t decided which route I want to go so I’m looking for opinions
Thanks

If you add fish, they have to be very specific or babies and you have another tank for them quickly. There are a few fish I love in my 6g, but they do not really help with cleaning or anything, so if truly a frag only tank, I would stick with snails and clean up crews.

Those frag tanks look great! What is the equipment set up on them? In answering you question about fish, I always add fish. I have a yellow clown goby in my nano frag tank, 5 gallons, and with it swimming amongst the corals all the time, kind kicks up detritus.

Are those Reef Casa tanks? If so, I'm SUPER interested to hear what you think of them after you've got them up and running for a bit.

As for fish, I'd probably add a small fish or two just to keep some nutrients in the water. Unless you plan to dose nitrate and phosphate. Other than maybe a Possum Wrasse or something like that, it'd be had to get utilitarian fish in a tank that small.
