Well this escalated quickly

So now that you have a full 40b frag tank that is as big as your reef, how long until you put up a 180 to squeeze all of that coral into?

Soon. Trays are in the works for more holding and prop.

Budget buster coming lol. I honestly wouldn't say it's a budget buster at all.

I had a custom frag tank built by our pals at Synergy Reef Systems. It's not a tank, it's a work of art. Maybe I'm still excited by the way it turned out, but I believe the quality craftsmanship put into this tank shows.

The old 20 long and 40 breeder are somewhat decommissioned. 40 breeder is holding fish at the moment and may get turned into another frag tank.

The current frag tank is a custom Synergy Reef Systems 30x14x7 tank, with custom frag racks that fit the inside tank dimensions. The stand is built all out of 80/20 extruded aluminum. The sump is a Synergy Reef Systems SS-22. We use a Synergy SMR1000 reactor for carbon. All this is powered by a single Jebao DC3000 pump. The pump is split off to run the reactor as well.

I think this turned out perfect!

Very impressive setup.

Plus a 80G frag tank plumbed together. Not bad for 6 months.

Is this a hydroponic tray? If so, we're you able to locate one locally and do you still like this setup?
