So my frag tanks needs a good working crew to keep the tanks and frag plugs clean-who does the best job?
 
How big is the frag tank?

Astreas, tomini tang, algae blenny. Add them all. :D
 
LPS 24" x 48" x 8" and SPS 24" x 72" x 8"
 
First thing I would suggest is go to a plastic shop and order a 4'x8' sheet of black pvc. 1/4" should be fine. Cut it to the size you want and drill holes in it for your frag plugs. It is much easier for snails to keep it clean. Yes it cost more but will be worht it in the long run.
 
in my frag tank i have a yellow wrasse to eat flatworms and nudis (just in case), a scribbled rabbitfish for algae and some trochus snails for film. also have a sally lightfoot and a few nassarius to eat any uneaten food.
 
Joe, I have a scopas in mine and they are usually pretty good working fish.
 
thanks Mark-I was thinking Scopas or some type of Zebrasoma-the chevron was a lazy sucker-I thought he would be good=nope :( -he's working harder in the display now though-go figure-

with my display connected to the frag tanks-which sea hare would be good if any?
 
I use Cerith snails. My frag are crowded together pretty tightly and they can get in the cracks. Also if they fall onto a coral they seem to be able to right themselves better than astreas.
 
Second to the six-line. I know they have a bed rep at times, but mine has been a first class citizen (knock on wood!)
 
LoL-Kenny I could never ask tank duty on a friend-sorry bro =)
 
added a few nassarius so we'll see what they can do-fast for snail speed for sure-
 
I've got a few astreas and a bunch of ceriths in my frag tank. As well as a sea hare and a couple emerald crabs, oh and a peppermint shrimp too.
 
two great things for a frag tank, small yellow coris wrasse and a small kole yellow eye tang
