Hello guys!
I am new to the hobby. I am about to build a 3000 liter aquarium setup for SPS coralls. As a quarantine, I'd like to set up a fragrack system. Only for the SPS. I am wondering about how to feed them. I am sure i'll use reactors or/and dosers, but do I need any other things, or maybe I should have some small fishes, that I dont really want to add, but if it is a must... (?)
What do you suggest? How do you set up a fragrack system?
Thank you!
 
That's a huge DT! Especially for somebody new to the hobby. And doing sps makes it even harder. I certainly would NOT suggest this as a way to start. You are heading down a very expensive road and success if FAR from a sure thing.

Frag tanks aren't much different than a DT except most are shallower. I even put a frag rack in my refugium for times when I didn't have a frag tank. Don't over think it.

Good luck and have fun.
 
SPS are photosynthetic corals.
As long as you provide good light, they can produce their food from the symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae.
With that huge tank, I'd say get a PAR meter and don't worry about feeding them.

I don't think you will need a frag system before you have an establish main tank that can grow SPS.

Happy reefing man.
