So i want to get a small tank running.. (Yes even smaller than my 20 gal) but for frags. Ive been looking at the 5 gal evo tanks and was wondering if any fellow reefers had any experience with it. I want to buy coral from lps and frag them. Possibly resell later down the road.

Keeping a 5g frag tank shouldn't be a big deal. You just need to pay attention as things happen faster in a small tank.

I have a 16g tank that I'm breeding RFAs in. It has a HOB filter and an in-tank Tunze skimmer. It's only been set up for a month and I've already had a spawning by 2 of the nems!

5 gallons is fine as a frag tank, however if you decide to go with the 5 gallon Fluval, the tank is taller than wide and doesn't have much working space or places for frags. It can make a cool little pico tank though.
