Just got my frag tank running. I have 260w PC's over right now, but planning on halides down the road. As far as filtration I have a sumpfuge below it with live rock rubble, cheato, and some filter floss. I am going to run this for a while. I don't think I will put a skimmer in because thier will be little waste. Any more question's?

I use t-5s I think for what you are trying to grow MH would be overkill especially with the shallow depth. I have mine plumbed into my system so filtration isnt a consideration. Make sure you leave room between your racks and the glass to get your algae scraper in there,also make sure you have your baffles right where you want them they are a pain to try and change on down the road. I feed my frags some freeze dried cyclopeeze or reef chili every other day and havent heard any complaints. Ive also got a few snails and a couple of crabs in there to help with maintenance. In addition make sure you have good flow in there and keep your eyes peeled for cyano,use a toothbrush to scrub it off then suck it out with a hose,it will pass after a few weeks.
