I want to run it like a regular reef tank.

It's a 4X4 so they will have plenty of room to swim.

Thanks for the suggestions

If I had a frag tank I'd go with damsels. I've always liked the way they look but I don't want those means s.o.b.'s in my display tanks.

Hey Guys thanks for the response. Never been a fan of damsels but definatley a kole and wrases. Want to keep fish for good tank balance.

I have a coral beauty and a couple cardinals... I think they are perfect for frag tanks. Everything everyone mentioned were also good choices.

Agree. If it is a frag tank you want only livestock that can benifit the growing of your frags. Anything that does not provide a service to the frags will only add to the organic load and even possibly disturb them.

Just a FYI - but think utilitarian. Snails and hermits are usually toppling over my frags so their out in a frag tank for me; but a diamond watchman goby keeps the sand bed surface clean and sifting sand puts particulate matter uo into water flow for dispersal.

I'd agree a sixline for sure and a watchman goby....Or you could do a bunch of clowns and let them spawn...

Here are some of the earlier shots. I set it up this weekend and did the plum yesterday. I will finish today and post some more pics.
