The sand is really up to you... I would go bare bottom, just because with a smaller frag tank you dont want sand blowing all over.
Egg crate you can pick up at home depot I think.

Better to go bare-bottom for a frag tank.

Why? Bare bottom easier to clean?

Overall I think it's just easier to have bare bottom. Easy to clean, and it wont blow all around.

Most people have their frag tank plumbed into their main system. If yours will be a stand alone, what will be your filtration? To raise coral frags, the water quality must be very high.

My filtration is live rock, live sand and a refugium. A few crabs and a snail or two. Assorted bristleworms and bristle stars--all hitch hikers that I just left in there. None of them are dangerous to my frags. Seams to be working. How fast will they grow? I dunno. Would they grow faster in a bare bottoom tank? I dunno.

Yep, nothing to trap detritus, and any detritus that does fall is easy to clean.

Well for my filtration I will be going with a canister ?? do you think I should also make a small fuge out of like a plastic container also?? I'm really excited to do this I can't wait to get things going. I would like to use it for a little extra cash on the side, I'm a stay at home mom and it has been 13 month of not working and not having my own money kinda sucks this could help my reefing habbit :Cheers:

you have an absolutely beautiful family. I chose to stay home with my son too. I am so glad I did. I get to see every change (and tatrum:S) he goes through:)

A canister filter will be okay, but you have to be very diligent about cleaning it often (once a week or so). If you don't clean it regularly, your nitrates may get high.

Great pics. You should not feel guilty. Raising kids is a 24/7 job. You deserve to treat yourself once in a while.
