2.5 frag tank
Im thinking about putting my 2.5 to good use. I have 20 watts over it...so im thinking about making it into a frag tank. Any suggestions? I just want to frag and grow ricordea...that way I dont have to worry about nutrients in the water. I MIGHT throw a damsel in there to feed the ricordea. Filter? Powerhead? any ideas are glady welcomed! It has crushed coral in it right now...but if i leave it fishless..It wouldnt matter. Im thinkin about going with sand though or bare bottom.

If you really want to do a frag tank I would say go with a 10gallon. I mean with a 2.5 gallon, depending on how often your frag or how much you have to frag you could be looking at losing hundreds of dollars of livestock with a small spike or if your heater stops working. IMO there are way to many things that can go wrong in that small of a tank. I have some zoas and sps that are worth over 50$ a polyp or 90$ an inch, and for me to lose them over being too cheap to do a reasonable sized tank would eat at me for a long time!

You're right Clownfish, there's many thing can go wrong in such small system. But Fishboy also mentioned that he only want to frag rics in that tank. + don't forget it is a frag only tank. The mother colony will stay in the main tank, so if something's go wrong he'll still have the big chunk.IMO
