    One more question... Do i have to cycle my water before adding frags? All there will be is a little compartment in the back where i will stick some algae and the frags and egg crate. No live rock or live sand. I was just going to get 10 gal of saltwater at my lfs. Also, do you think i should add anything to my water or not? If so, what? Thanks for the help again! :)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Acans, Duncans are just a few of good frags to start with.

    I would also consider a cuc made up of some snails once you start to grow some film algae.

    What is a "cuc"? Thanks. Do you think i need a protein skimmer on a frag tank? If a protein skimmer takes out the fish waste, why do you need it on a frag tank, right?

    i would go with your tank. you can always set up a frag tank, you can even put a small one in your tank later on.

    so for me i would put more corals in my tank.

    i have been hearing that you still need to have a protein skimmer on a frag tank. b/c corals have wast to.

    auariaman how long has your tank been up??

    and i really think you should wait until it cycles to put fish or corals into it.
