Well, I dug up an old 5g eclipse from downstairs in our basement that is working great now. I originally had it setup as a hospital tank, but my wrasse didn't need it (jsut had to start soaking flake food in water first). Coincidently, I recently purchased 2 tennis ball sized chunks of live rock to split my rasta leather coral with, and just put it in the 5g tank to cure for a week or two figuring it would at least kick start the 5g cycle and runoff enough ammonia I could move it to the display.
I was sitting watching my display tank, and the thought came to me, could I just use the 5g as a frag tank? It only has the one skinny flourscent tube (haven't found wattage yet), so I know I would be limited. I was wondering if my softy frags would still grow even with the somewhat low light. The tank is right infront of the sunrise window also, It gets very direct sunlight for several hours a day and indirect sunglight most of the rest of the day.
I would fill it up with the water changes from the display tank to keep the chemicals inline.
I was thinking of seeing if there were anymods to replace the light with maybe a single small T5 light or PC light, but I am low on cash now, so it would have to wait
Any ideas? suggestions? Thanks!
