Ian,
I think it would depend on what type of frags you want to grow out.
I can't see this working at all for SPS.
General rule I think is fuge should run about 30% flow of DT so that would not be good at all for frags.
The idea is great for multi-purpose/space saver but not great for the health of either side.

If you stuck to softies....maybe, just maybe it might work.

Sorry, can't help you on the breeding/feeding question, have never bread clowns.

Cathy

For the return i was thinking of having 2 inlets into the tank. One would go into the frag tank part and the other farther down the line into the fuge part, so i could set the flow of the fuge part of the tank lower. Would this not work?

Default Frag tank lighting suggestions

Any suggestions on what I should light the frag tank part of the system with? I am currently thinking of making a 6 bulb t5 fishneedit fixture because the tank is upstairs and it heats the room up a bit even with the 70w MH I have over my 15g. Another route I am considering is a DIY LED fixture. What would I need for this application? Or would maybe a 150W with some t5s be the best bet for this?
