Hi, I’m super new to reefing but I’m looking to start adding some corals to my tank. I was thinking about setting up a separate frag only tank to observe the corals closely as and maybe have a better chance at growing corals.

Any thought on a frag tank for complete beginners??

Usually a frag tank is useful once corals grow out in display. 2 issues, typically a frag system is smaller than display so less stable.
2nd, if you want to to basically qt, then I wouldn't tie it into the display which is what I would recommend to offset the stability mentioned above.
