My new frag tank
Well after a lot of thinking I put the frag tank in the house and to day I got it going its a36x18x16 40g breeder with a 30sump with 3/4 over flow just a PVC pipe. 2 20watt Coralife light's 1 is a CL 50/50 50%natural daylight 6000K 24 inch 20w 11/2" T12 and the second is a 24inch 20w 11/2" T12. The light's are just for the time untill i can afford MH's for the tank. Naw I need to get some frag's and live rock's to get is started and this is what it look's like.
The start of my frag's
I cant wait to see haw it will do and see the frag grow in time.
Devils hand frag from my big one
Zoas.

i think its better not to have a fish in a frag tank. it will just hold you back in terms of lighting time. also when your moving rocks around and cutting frags you would just stress the fish out.
as i was looking at your pics i would take all the bigg rocks out and add more small rocks this will make it eaiser to get frags to spread to diffrent rocks and be able to move them.
good luck!!

I think a wrasse such as a six line, or yellow coris and then some kind of algae eater such as a rabbitfish are good idea for a frag tank.

i have 3 fish in my frag system, 1 hippo tang, 6-line wrasse, and a copperband butterfly for aptaisa/majano control. good looking setup BTW, but i would also remove the non porous rock that you have in there.
