Frag tank connected to main display tank?

Is it ok to connect a frag tank to a display tank, as long as you skim and run carbon, or will this have an effect on your corals in your display tank, given the amount of chemicals and toxins released when corals are fragged. Does anyone have a setup like this? (have their frag tank linked upto their main display tank)?

alot of ppl do, it's cheaper than buying ALL NEW equipment

not many release deadly toxins, you should have carbon around anyways, so yeah.

The only down side to this is if you have any problems or tank crash you lose or affect all of your stock. That being said, my frag tank is connected to my display.
