I've had a frag tank for a little over a year now and it's a great place to QT new corals and treat unhealthy ones. However I find I'm constantly struggling to keep enough nutrients in it. While I'm feeding Reef Roids and live phyto, it's not enough and I need to supplement by dosing NO3 and PO4 almost daily.
My question is, would it simply be easier to put some fish in there? The tank is only 18"x12"x12" so my options are limited, I was thinking a pair of pygmy gobies. It just seems easier than dosing nutrients, have a couple fish that I can watch, and who also fertilize my corals. Others with frag tanks, do you keep fish in there? If not, how do you meet the nutrient needs of your hungry corals?
