I have a 36" X 24" 12'' tank. I want to make it a frag tank. I want mainly to grow sps corals but would also like to grow some other softies like rics or maybe acans. I was thinking of using Metal Halide lighting but would consider T5's as well. My goal is maximum growth. My questions are what other equipment do I need . I assume I need a decent skimmer. Do I need live rock? Do you need to have fish in a frag tank ? I would rather not have any fish in the tank. Is a sump with chaeto, a dsb and live rock required? Basically I am looking for a list of everything I need for a good frag tank. The whole frag grow out tank thing is new to me. I am looking for all the advice I can get. Thanks to everyone in advance.
