10g Nano Frag tank "CONCEPT"

[mebo926]

So i have an extra tank and some other things laying around and thought that I could build a frag/grow out tank. I was going to use a HOB filter with my choice of media, and then i was going to build an over flow type area. In that area, im curious as to how much of pressure a 1 inch drain would create. Was interested in using it for a form of extra flow for my lower tray. Any POSITIVE input is appreciated, just be nice as it is a limited budget/space/parts build.

oooo, I would love to see this progress!

if money wasnt too much a factor, i would say an MP10, some eggcrate and a small hang on skimmer would do this set up nicely, unless youre tying this to your main system?

otherwise, a koralia aimed under the egg crate would work as a lower cost option.

I don't even have a mp10 in my main tank lol. Well it will have egg crates, just can't draw them in lol. There will be a power head on top and then hoping my idea of a drain to makeshift flow will work. I may have to put a hang on back. I'm very anal about having to much in the tank itself.

I would think, a powerhead, a protein skimmer, and maybe some type of overflow to a DIY hob fuge?

ohhhh man ive never thought about an overflow to hang on back(you better build this im just sayin):xd:

Well the tank has been cleaned. Waiting for payday lol. Since my gf doesnt like her light she got, think 2 par38 bulbs on this frag tank would be bad? I would hang them high off.
