10g Frag tank

[MadReefer]

I want move my small frags from the DT to a 10g as the fish keep knocking them over. I plan to use raised egg crate and have a few questions.

1 how high should the egg crate be?
2 Should. I use DT water or new SW?
3 Use a HOB inside tank skimmer or a HOB filter?

Thanks

The height should be based on your preference, IMO. For a quick transfer I'd use tank water. Skimmer isn't necessary unless you have fish I there....a hob filter should be fine. You may wanna toss in a small, nano powerhead depending on what corals you will place in there...but you should get enough flow with the HOB

Egg crate height will be dependent on your light and what corals they are. I agree with trio, DT water and a hob filter with a power head will be perfect.

Power head I don't have. The Koriala's are 500gph and 1000gph.
I only plan to put a few leathers, zoas, cloves, frogspawn, gorgonian and yuma in there until they grow out some.
Total of about 9 pieces.

I'm no expert but by my understanding new saltwater or DT water will not matter if you don't have something for the bacteria to grow. The water column doesn't hold any of that. You should take a rock from your DT or put a bag of bioballs in your sump for like a week or so to put in the 10g.
