frag tank

Ok, so I have a tiny 10 gallon aquarium that I previously used for freshwater, but decided that it might make a decent frag tank. My main system is 75 gallons with a 15 gallon sump and my original idea was just to have the 10 next to the 75 with a siphon going from my main tank to the 10 and...

So my question is simple, would you use Vibrant in a newly set up Frag Tank? Would/Could you even add it before there is a sign of Algae? Some background; I am in the process of setting up a 20 gallon long quarantine/frag tank to hold my monti frags while I deal with the dreaded montipora...

Hi All, This is my first post here and I wanted to show everyone where I am currently in my build and allow you to follow along as I finish it out. I hope to get a lot of great advice from you all! My son (10) has really gotten into this hobby and has started his own tank that he is running...

I have a 30 gallon frag tank, I have a healthy supply of brine shrimp and copepods , I breed them in my garage. I've successfully kept a Mandarin dragonet alive for two years now, first in my 50 gallon tank, and now it's doing well in my upgraded 100 gallon. Keeping pods has never been a problem...

After keeping a 90 gal FOWLR tank for a little over 10 years, I decided that I should downsize and start a new reef tank. If any of you have been in the hobby even for a couple of months, the idea of downsizing almost sounds crazy. Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. First, I bought a 20...

Hello reefers, Previously I made a really simple Frag tank that was actually happy with, work well, this was the version 1: But I had to remove the filter for space reason so I decide to redo my frag tank completely and applying what I learn from my previous DIY AIO aquarium with a new design...

Hello R2R community. I've been reefing since 2012 and took a break for a gap of about 2 years due to living situations. Finally got set up again and decided to set up for propagation this go around as that what was I always enjoyed, fragging and watching corals grow. My current setup is a 75 gal...

Hey everyone, so I'm working on a new build for a 30g frag grow out tank. Gonna be mostly zoas and softies and some LPS. Any recommendations on fish? Really thinking only 1-3 max and preferably useful fish like algae eaters and pest control. Trying to stay away from a 6 Line, heard too many...

Thinking about starting a frag tank to help with the cost of building my dream tank (300 Gallon). I currently have a 48 gallon cuboid tank and has been running well for just over a year. The only problem is there is not much to look. Livestock is really expensive, especially when quarantining...

So basically ive been told that until we find a larger house i am on a tank restriction. I can add whatever i want to under the tank including tanks just nothing unsightly outside of my undisputed territorial lines. As of now i have a mess of wires and neat freaks nightmare for a sump fuge area...

Hello Everybody! I started this build for a few reasons..... 1. It was super fun!!!!!! 2. Space requirements 3. Higher nitrates for mushrooms and softies I definitely encourage everyone to try a build like this at least once! With a little patience and organizational skills it was actually a...

Hello, Reefers :) I made a custom Frag Aquarium. I don't have a lot of space at home so it's a standalone tank. Hope this video will entertain you a little bit :P If you have any suggestions on how to improve this setup let me know, super curious to have some feedback!

My build has been three years in the making and yet, still not complete. That said, the past few months I've been pushing harder to get it closer to completion. My goal is to have this wrapped up in the next 4 months or so, at which point, I can finally add some water and start the cycling...

Hey reefers. I just started my grant tank build. I bought one of Fishofhex lowboy frag tanks. I have built an 8’ X 2’ stand for it. The plan is to put the lowboy and a 20long side by side and have them both drain into a 40b diy sump. I’m going as budget friendly as possible. I have 2...

Started a 20g frag tank because my 1 1/2yo 14g Bio was starting to get crowded... I cycled the tank for 5-6 weeks and my parameters are as follows: Sal/Temp- 34/70*, Kh- 9.6, Cal.- 429, Mag- 1260, Ph- 8.4, Amm- .25, No3- 6, No3- 0, Po- .5 Light- Kessil a150 Ocean blue 8in from water lowered to...

Other than making sure it has some sand, would a Coris wrasse do as much pest control as a sixline? I hate my sixline. Hes a typical jerk and I really love the look of green coris. Thoughts?

Trying to figure out a good light that is also fairly cheap for a frag tank that will grow sps. It'll be on a 24x24x8 tank.

Hi everyone, After being a reefer for 3 years, i am finally building my frag tank. Go big doesn't cost a lot more, so it seems to be the bigger system i got the cheaper it is per gallon. Tank size 90x36x14 around 200 gallon Sump 72x22x16 around 100 gallon Return Pump L2 Skimmer Pump L2 Skimmer...

My husband loves watching what I do with the hobby and didn't have to be talked into letting me fill the breakfast nook and part of the back patio with tanks. Friends have been sending me hook ups whenever they hear about free stuff. Uhaul was getting plenty of business from me for about 3...

Been a lurker for a while, but I'd thought I'd start up a build thread and share what I have going on. I started reefing with a 12G Fluval Edge about 3 years ago and it took all of about 6 months for me to upgrade to my first "adult" tank. My Red Sea Reefer 250 has been running for exactly 912...
