Got Reef-er?
Have you ever wanted to start a frag tank or already have one? Do you have good design ideas or a setup that is working well for you? If you said yes, I need your help!
I want to build a frag tank but I am not sure where to start. I want ideas about tank design (material, shelves, etc.), lighting, filtration, etc. It would be nice to propogate corals (by the way - sps, lps, zoos, etc.) instead of stealing from our natural reefs.
I am currently thinking about a custom tank (doesn't necessarily have to be traditional glass or acrylic, right?) that is maybe 72" long. Shallower is probably better? Maybe a few halides with VHOs. Calcium reactor and home-made skimmer. What type and amount of flow? Is a sump full of live rock okay? Probably no or very few fish.
I haven't found much information about this so please post threads that you know have information or post your own ideas! Thanks!
