Setting up coral only tank
 

I'm wanting to set up a coral only tank with live sand(aka frag tank).
Can you tell me what supplies I'm missing from the list? Thanks:)

Supplies:
Tank
Live Sand
T5 lighting
Salt
Filter
Heater
Powerheads
Supplements

During transition to my current tank, my only fish perished in my previous tank. That left me with a coral-only tank for a few months. (mix of SPS, LPS...no softies)

It didn't do well. Even though I continued the same water change schedule and Ca supplementation, the corals declined. The main difference was that I was no longer feeding the tank.

So...as you do this...I hope this gives you something to think about

Depends on what corals you are wanting to keep... but for sure.... Power heads, some kind of filtration, live rock, heater, supplements.

Some corals use fish poo for food,that's all my sps get to eat,and there doing great

you should try to put at least 1 fish in there, depending on the size of the tank, foxfaces or a yellow tang are good.

I'd actually go for a tang from the bristletooth family. They crap a lot, and they definitely pull their weight in terms of cleaning. You could do anything from a kole to a chevron, or even a leutenant tang. Most of the rabbitfish, as recommended, are great too.

If you are set on going fish only there is a product, its a Mark Weiss item, called SPS grow or something, it comes in an oval dark blue container with green writing and a white twist off lid. The product is actually dried out fish crap.

**edit**

the product is called SPS Coral Grow.
