    You should definitely put a cuc in there. The pepper may peck at your baby frags, but not all of them do that

    Standard mix. assortment of snails. I just wanted to warn you that the eggcrate goes through a weird gha stage. Mine has been getting less and less, but it's still been a few month. And it comes back every time I clean it.

    It kind of seems like as the rack covers in coralline that area quits growing the hair. Just weird that there is no problem algae anywhere else in the system but there.

    Better there than your dt. Maybe it will just cover in coralline and then you wont have any GHA

    Yeah, it's really no biggie but worth knowing to someone planning on building the same thing.

    I had thought about doing something like a dwarf lion, but realized I want to easily work in this tank so I didn't want anything to worry about, and if I ever do fill it with frags, there wouldn't be the right environment.

    I would just go with something more simple. Or leave it now and wait till you have a problem fish and now you have a place to banish them to. My maroon was a bully, now she's got a boyfriend and they are happy owning the frag tank!
