Advice needed!

[kynan]

Ok,

Call me stupid. I upgraded my Oceanic 135g with a 30 sump to a 210g with a 150 rm sump a little while back. The 135 I got off e-bay with "scratches not hampering the tanks beauty"...uhh, not quite. I had to get out of it.

Now I have been using the 135 for water storage for premix...completely filled. I moved my 55g downstairs after it flooded my home theater room.

So I am debating just shifting the stuff from the 55 to the 135, perhaps throwing some egg crate in for 18" or so of frag room under a 175 mh pendant. (I don't have a frag set up as of yet.) Then using the 55 for premix.

Advice I am looking for is:

1.) Do I do it?

2.) If so, do I tie things into the 150 sump or not (leave a a 2nd system)?

3.) or just stay with the set up I have and add a 20g frag tank?

I need to do something for frags, they keep having a tough time moving from where I get them to my 400's 10k's.

A few things come to mind. The 175w is going to struggle with coverage on a 135, no giving much more space for frags that a 2-30 gallon. Tying it in will make Maintenance so much easier because your only looking at one system to test/dose/feed/topoff. However this makes the frag tank unusable as a QT, so if your brining alot of stuff in that make be a concern.
