it is no different then setting up a regular tank other then the fact that most dont have rock or fish in the tanks. it is just eggcrate racks of some sort intead of rock. many have the rock but it is in the sump. you want a frag tank to be easy to work in and move stuff around so you dont want all that rock in the way giving corals places to fall and get lost.
other then that they are no different.

with a good quality salt, porper water changes, temps, and salinity you dont need any dosing chemicals at all.
i have been keeping my tanks for more then 10 years now and i have NEVER added anything other then consistant water changes. i will say however that if your dealing with a full on sps system with a heavy coral load things like CA become important because water changes alone do not replenish them fast enough

no iodine? nothing? I herd these other cems help the frags grow really fast
your making this to hard on yoruself when you get into all that stuff. salt water as a whole is MUCH easier then some make it out to be. you dont need all these fancy gigets ang gagets. do they work ?? yep sure do. do you need them? 100% no.
any Salt mix worth a damn will replenish all you need in a tank that small. 20% every two weeks and your good to go.
good water quality, a quality lighyt source and proper fragging will produce high quality fast growing frags all day long.

When puting the egg crate in the tank should I glue it to the sides with several tiers? Or on self placed on leggs from teh bottom? Can I place some softies to high? or Low?
