Yup, rotifers & then newly hatched baby brine shrimp. Baby pods are too large and too few in number to keep baby fish alive in a small tank.

Default LED Lighting, fish selection and more questions

Thanks for the reply guys. I was thinking about it and would still like the fuge to b on one side cause I want a big spot for frags and growing corals out and think it would be kind of a hassle to have the cheato growing on the racks and having it impede on the corals. I am also going to keep the fuge fishless for the production of more pods and have some clean up fish in the frag tank.

That being said what would some good clean up fish be? I was thinking sixline wrasse for pest control and some kind of algae eater like a lawnmower blenny. Also what are some good inverts to have in a frag tank to keep it clean without knocking frags off racks?

Another question I have is whether to go with a DSB in the fuge or not. If I did what inverts would I be able to use to stir it?

And finally what would be my best bet for DIY LED lighting for the frag tank? The water will be around 15" deep, and the opening on top of the tank is 24" long by 10" wide. I will get dimmable drivers and have blues their own and whites a separate driver(s) so i can get good growth and color as well. I just don't know how many, on what optics, and what spacing ect. would be suitable for this.

Any input it appreciated
