Budget QT/ Frag Tank

[Barnabie Mejia]

Hello my R2R Fam-Bam!!!

I am building an AIO out of a 20L and I have a few questions.....
I don't imagine there would be many issues placing new frags in there for observation after buying them from the LFS or Friends, but will I need to do anything special when the time comes to frag my display and place in here?

My plan is to take some marinepure spheres from the sump of my display and a few that I have had in the sump of my brothers tank and place in the back chamber of the AIO. It's still going to be seeded with seachem stability. The tank will be filled with 10 gallons of water change water from the 75g DT and 10 new gallons of freshwater. Then every water change from the DT 10 of those gallons will be changed into the Frag Tank. This tank will maybe have 1 fish in it (not sure if any are needed for it) and there will be some snails and crabs for algae help.
I'm also planning to run an AI Prime HD on this tank so it is on the same schedule as the DT (minus the T5s) so when the frags make the move it should be smoother...

Am I on the right track? Maybe some of you can see some holes in my plan and prevent me from making a mistake....

Thanks Everyone!!!!

Here are a couple pictures of what I'm planning.

I'll be using an MJ1200 for a return pump, do you all think I would need a small powerhead in here as well?


Thanks!

Very nice, I think the need for a Powerhead would depend upon what was in it, SPS yes! LPS and Softies no you can probably get away without it
