    for a frag tank i would just get heater,light a few small pieces of lr mabe 4-5pnds just for some natural filterization. id get something like 6-7 snails so u do not have to scrape no more.. i guess if u want a fish you can but thats just more bio load u will have. Some corals like sps the best thing to feed is the fish poop i think(not possitive, just heard that). If u get a fish id recomend somthing that eats mainly algea or stirs the sand bed, so its at least helping somthing lol. but other than that id say u are good

    your choice but depending on how many frags id rethink that cause you will be feeding every to every other day..plus if its going to be a "frag" tank than u will prolly put egg crates in their for racks which takes up a lot of room so their wouldnt be a whole lot of room for him/her to swim inless u put them all on bottom which will hold less frags.

    if you want a frag tank with LPS or more importantly SPS you need it tied into a larger system IMO. If is just softies and LPS maybe not, but the best fragging systems need good water and stable paramaters

    its would be just for softies. I think params would be fine cause i said ill prob get a 12 long plus the 10 refuge prob get a skimmer too. I don't know if Ill get a fish or not just saying if I did it would be a black and white clown
