    well, after thinking it for a while, i thought that instead of having a fish tank in my Dorm, I would rather have a Frag tank. that way when i am away i would not be worried that i dont have anyone to feed my fish.

    all i would need is to set a timer to turn on and off the lights and an ATO. which i think should be simple enough. ( or i can just get my grown corals and bring them home for my big tank... since i will be going home every 6 months).

    i will probably just have 3 or 4 frags on a 10G tank. That way it will not be anything difficult to take care of.

    any suggestions... questions... concerns?

    lol kind of like my 10 gallon nano except im gonna have fish. Sounds like a pretty good idea IMO but only 4 frags? i think you could have a few more if you have one of those like frag stands or whatever there called and u can place quite a few on them

    sounds good. softies or sps or lps?

    just keep the water params up and your golden.
    you might be able to make a little cash while at school this way

    i was thinking something that wont require my params to be top nodge.. but I can probably do SPS. IT shouldnt be a problem if im not keeping that many on my tank. i just plan on having two small powerheads, my old lights from my 29G.. ( will probably change the bulbs).. and some base rock from RC.
    i will also bring some sand from my tanks at home and maybe a piece of LR.
