Looking for some tips on a frag tank

[Ocho Cinco]

Hi, I'm setting up frag tank to possible go next to my AP24. The tank I'm buying in a 24 gallon nano cube with 150 watt halide. I will be picking it up fri. The few questions I had were, 1. is there a way to connect the 2 tanks so I'm working with a larger water volume? 2. Any ideas on a DIY frag rack? 3. LR or no LR?

I'm sure I'll come up with more, but this is all I have as of now.

Any suggestions? 14k or 20k bulb? I think I'm going with a 20k because it makes the coral look better. Will that really slow the growth?

Best growth comes from 10k or less, but colors can be whack. Some then toss the coral in a DT with 20k for a month or so to color up before selling.

Is it that big of a factor when it comes to growth? I think having them look cool is more important. imo.

I agree, why not enjoy them to their fullest potential while you nurture and grow the corals.

Exactly. But I might just go with a 14k to stay in the middle. Get a little bit of both worlds. I'm looking at a phoenix 14k

There ya go. And if you want to go a little more blue just add some LED's like the Power Brites.

+1 on the 14k pheonix.

Would also recomend some live rock, where ever you can fit it in.

Yeah that's the plan. I'm gonna put some behind the frag rack.
