    Default frag tank fish

    I Was curious what fish if any people have in there frag tanks. I have a 30 breeder with a 55 sump. Never had fish in it. Just a few snails and hermit crabs.on Friday. a friend broke down his tank that was neglected and gave it all to me. My tank was just about empty from the swap so I. Have room. Problem is his rock and coral was covered with flatworms and bubble alge. I put 3 emeraled crabs in it and was thinking of adding a sixline anything else I should add. He had a beautiful tank at one time. I have 2 other tanks in my house so when I bring this one back to life I can have my frag tank back.

    i would let the rock dry out and them soak in fresh water before use because it'll be covered in dead stuff. flat worms are very to hard to get rid of.

    Emerald crabs are hit an miss too when it comes to eating bubble algae. Sometimes becoming a bigger pest even. Like deputt I too would nuke, the rock.

    I used flatworm exit years ago and it took care . of flatworms. So I'm just goinalg to do that again I've never had to deal with bubble before. Also I can not destroy or nuke rock coveered with zoo and montis and tons of other. sweet encrusting coral. I've read people have had foxface eat bubble but not sure

    Only thing I've heard of eating bubble algae are the emerald crabs, but like already stated they are hit and miss.
    This has worked for me in the past.
