Frag tank questions

[Zoaelite]

Slightly off topic but what are your thoughts on your current fish list? Regal tangs are known to eat zoas, not to mention your running a 33g with four of them. These fish require much more space and will promptly add to your bio load. Frag tanks are kept rather fish free to ensure low nutrients for maximum growth, clownfish and anthias serve no purpose in this tank and will muck it up quite quickly with the required feedings.

Ditch all of that, pick up a lawn mower blenny and some snails then your rocking.

We use eggcrate in our frag tanks and its very effective to build stadium style racks with.

We keep our NO3/PO4 pretty low so we don't have issues with algae growing on the racks but I could see how that can be the downfall to eggcrate.

I find store bought plugs to be too small and too expensive and racks a nuisance to keep clean. So I made a few hundred of my own 2" disks a few years ago which I just set in the sandbed of my frag tank. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...ment+disks+diy I made a lot of 1" disks as well but I rarely ever use them.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe a coris wrasse. But definitely limit to benificial fish
