hey guys so come sunday morning im jumping off the radar for a month or so, and i have a question regarding my stocking for my 20G frag tank

i was planning on stocking it with just shrimps, but idk how many pairs i can get away with? my target is 3 pairs, one of fire, one of peppermint (tank could also act as coral QT so incase any aips pop up), and one of harlequin (i know about the star fish only diet, going to be asternias in the sump and in the frag tank and they will prolly be last to go in anyway)

can it be done?



also, regarding lighting to keep SPS frags in the frag tank, what would you recomend?

and lastly, eggcrate layout for the frags, i was thinking of building a sort of rack to fit the whole tank, with 3 levels (low rack for low light coral, mid rack for medium coral, and high rack for high light coral)

or a sort of pyramid step thing going from short on the front to high on the back? or from the etremities on the sides to be short and the center high?


other than that i think i can handle it for a month :) fish wont be going in till prolly feburary this time anyway :lol:
 
For a frag tank shrimp would drive me mad. They are scroungers and will steal all food your trying to give to lps frags. Il never own a shrimp again
