I have a 55 gal tank sitting empty in my garage. I would eventually like to turn it into a frag tank. My questions are:
-What lighting should I invest in?
-LED or T5?
-What is the max temp it can get to before it harms corals? (I don't know if I'll be able to bring it inside due to size and no room, so it would probably stay in the garage which is insulated.)
-What is a good fish or two for a frag tank?


This is no rush or hurry, just trying to do my research before I decide what to do and how to do it.
 
Lighting I personally recommend a T5 and LED
Temp it’s best to keep it as close to 77-78 as possible but I’ve heard as low as 73 and as high as 80 being ok but higher or lower.
Fish wise a Wrasse if great as they spend their day hunting pests, maybe a small tang, clowns, are all good for a frag tank.
 
Id get T5s... leds seem like a hassle to get setup properly. For a 55g all you need is a 2 maybe 4 bulb fixture honestly...

Temps.. my tank is at 82f 24.7, cant help it its in my room up stairs so its always warmer up here
