[Bridgerdean]

Hi R2R. I hope you are all well.

Wanted to get a few opinions on a new intended frag tank build.

Tank 2 frag tanks: 72" long x 25" wide x 16" deep side by side so 72"x50" total area, Gallons: 236
Sump gallon: 128 gallons

Tank A: SPS
Tank B: Softys/LPS

Lights Radion: g6blue
Skimmer, UV, 2 MP60s, 2 MP40s, Apec

Fish:
Tank A: Bristletooth tang, Foxface, Lawnmower Blenny, Blue Mandrin pair, Spotted mandarin, RR Dragonet, Mystery Wrasse, Earmuff Wrasse
Tank B:White tail Bristletooth tang, OS Foxface, Starry Blenny, Blue Mandrin pair, Spotted mandarin, RR Dragonet, Dusky marinated wrasse, Mccoskers Wrasse.

You'll only want a male/female dragonet pair in both tanks (4 dragonets in 3 species is asking for trouble). I'd ditch the blennies in favor of something else (particularly the lawnmower).

-The dragonettes dont really add any value. You might even need to add pod hotels or somewhere for pods to hide
-Watch the foxface with corals. Can be really good or bad
-Most frag tanks are open tops so i would reccomend a cheap 6 line wrasse for pest over more expensive ones that will jump. Or yellow chrysus .
-I would also add more tangs. Naso seem to eat algae that bristletooth dont and so on.
-i would be carefull about some soft coral in the same system as sps. Should be fine, but, they can release toxins. Maybe just dont go crazy. Zoas are better than big leathers and so on.
