    Default Frag Tank

    I was thinking of starting a little fraging farm. What would be the best way to start off. Should i get a tank with bare bottom?...to keep nutrients to a minimum and be able to get waste of bottom. or shall i use a very deep sand bed/plenum with macro algae to keep n. down and use some live rock? what would be the best way? I will be using a 10k 250 watt MH, a skimmer, and use RO saltwater Does this sound ok?

    i just set up my frag tank. running a bare bottom/protein skimmer and a 175 MH. will have a closed loop with a 9.5 and a squid to circulate water. was thinking i'd prob put some macros in there, but was not planning on sand or live rock. trying to keep it as clean as possible.

    If you can tie it in to an existing system it will make maintence easier.

    Remember you will have your hands in it a lot so leave room for easy access.
