with frag tanks you want the least amount of mutrients, so.
Good protien skimmer,
carbon,
no fish,
nice lights (MHs),
no sandbed,
you can have live rock, but eggcrate racked made of eggcrate and PVC are alot better, easy to place frags on, and deasy for flow.
what kinda frags?

I'd say max out your VHO instead of going MH for a frag tank.
I've heard of frag tanks being run without filtration, with the water for regular water changes comming from the "mother tank." A skimmer would be best, but if you're running a budget tank, you can get away without it on a secondary tank that isn't fed. The frags themselves shouldn't produce many waste organics unless thier health fails.

iff possible add the tank to your main tank, so you dont have to worry abotu filtration, that would eb est, but if something happens to the main tank like a spike, it will affect the frags.
