Questions?

What other fish would you all suggest?

I plan on keeping a mixed reef eventually SPS dominated

A bit confused. Is the water from your return pump going into your fuge?

Personally, I don't like the frag tank/QT combo. If you're growing out frags, you don't want the chance to infect them with QT. Plus if you have to dose interceptor or go hyposalinity you'll have to move all the frags out. Frag tank attached to the main system makes sense but I'd make my QT completely seperate. Remember to treat for ich you'll have the QT offline for 2 months at a time. What will you do with your frags then?

I have some other tanks. It will be a QT while I add stock. Then I will clean it and open the valves to make it part of the main system. It will not be flipped back and forth between the 2. Sorry for the confusion. I will have another seperate tank for qt if i decide to add anything down the road.

O and yes that is how I am planing on feeding the fuge, I may use one of the returns to feed the fuge and use a valve to slow the flow.
