Can I get some suggestions for this frag tank setup?
This will be for softies, Zoas mainly.
I was thinking barebottom, with eggcrate tiers. The drilled holes will be one drain and 1 return. Hydor Korlia 4 for flow.
The sump will just be a basic sump, loaded with LR, and cheato. Maybe a 6" sand bed?
I'm also thinking no skimmer?
I need a light suggestion too, I was thinking T5 or just some normal floresents whatevers the cheapest option. How many would I need to run?
Tank demensions are 4'x16"x12"tall
Thanks... feel free to make any comments or suggestions I need em... Saltwater is awesome btw :)

Thanks that whole setup tanks, stand and bulk heads has onlt set me back $70 so far.
Think I could get by with only 2 , 52W T5 on this thing?

Probably, especially since it is so shallow. It is pretty simple to DIY your own T5 setup. Check out the 5th post in this thread: http://www.clubswam.org/Forum/index.php/topic,140.0.html
Good luck!

Where did you get the tank? And I'm assuming you go everything used?
