I cant decide if I want to add a frag tank to my system or not. I have an extra 250w pendent and A basment sump room so I sorta have the room. But will I even use it? I dont want to go into business or make money on frags. So if you have a frag tank tell me why you like or dislike yours.
Thanks

Well if you dont intend to sell frags at all, just dont call it a frag tank. Call it a growout tank and you can place frags that you buy in there until they are of a nice enough size for your display tank. That way you wont have a bunch of little frags in your main tank.

You also get more water volume in your system, you get to easily have frags laying around for trade and frag swaps, and you get to make your show tank a show tank!

If you have the room, you should do it!

I run the lights on my frag tank at night.
:D

Nice not having to check your tank twice a day for frags that got knocked over :)
