Made up a small frag tank

Brewman1987 · Feb 1, 2016

Figured I'd use up a 20 long I had kicking around. With limited space at home this is all
I really can fit for a frag tank at the moment. I have different heights of egg crate and will use my old t5 fixture for lighting until I buy a led. Looking forward to getting some frags at the ffm and also cut some of my corals.

Looks Good!

Thanks, tossed in a piece of live rock and some rubble in the hob filter along with some display water. Also dusted off the t5 and have it on right now.

Is a HOB filter your long term method?

Brewman1987 · Feb 2, 2016

For now it will have to do until I add a sump to it. Weekly water changes will be done in the meantime and monitoring the levels in the tank.

If you don't have any fish technically you really don't even need filtration. I think the hang on filter is plenty with weekly water changes.

Yeah I keep reading back and forth about it. I don't plan to have any fish in there, just coral so I guess time will tell.

I think your frag system would be a whole lot more stable and require less work if you had a fish to keep it cycled and some Marine Pure to promote the bacteria, but to each their own!
