Because of the input of some R2R people and research Iv done... I have decided to switch from a 10 gallon frag tank to roughly a 22 gallon frag tank that’s very shallow. Someone was selling a 24x24x9 inch tank and I decided to grab it. So here a list of advice or products I need recommendations on:
- Lights, best for a shallow square tank?
- Live rock rubble. Is this the best option? Should it sit underneath the frag racks? (I’m doing bare bottom)
- Power-heads. While I would love to spend $300+ on 2 quality powerheads there’s no way I can do that at the moment. Luckily I’m not going to start growing SPS corals until then so what are some good cheap powerheads for softies and LPS corals that I can use for now?
- Stocking. Clean up crew, maybe a shrimp, what kind of fish?
- Filtration. The tank doesn’t have a built in sump area in the back like most nano tanks so should I do a HOB with things like chemi pure blue and phosgaurd?
- Should I leave the tank without a lid? I usually make them myself with mesh tops but I never see frag tanks with lids. I don’t like jumping fish but I’ll live with the risk if it’s recommended.
