Hey guys
I’m finally going to add a frag tank to my main system so I can remove all frags and colony’s that I constantly frag from main display. As those who have seen my tank know I only keep sps and my plan is to get a 24”x24”x? And set up next to my main tank.
The goal is to light it with a G5 Radion blue xr15.
I would like to keep cost down (of course) so I plan to provide flow with an MP10 that I already have.
This is the tank I’m planing to get …
So my questions are…
1. I believe a xr15 should be able to provide plenty of light for a sps tank that is 24x24. Would you agree?
2. Do you think an MP10 will be all I need for flow ? Or maybe too much flow?
3. Also what height would you guys recommend 10” Or maybe 12” ? I would like to keep water volume down so my sump can hold the back siphon when power is out, but I also don’t want to have the problem I have with my main display where I can’t crank up the power heads because they will suck in air or splash water out.
Oh and as far as plumbing it to my display I will just set a pump that will pull water from my sump and a return that will drain it back to the sump.
Please let me know if there’s anything I should watch out for etc…
