if you worried about cu hanna makes a good copper tester I just picked one up for my QT system ( in the works ) might be cheaper than buying a new frag tank. I think there around $50

PS I fist glance of that pic I thought it was a cat in the frag tank...lol

Order placed for these awesome bonsai aquascapes! My bonsai reef aquascapes will be custom-made similar to these two below.

Thank you West Mariculture for helping by sponsoring this build with these awesome designs and customer service!

I will be making an unboxing / assembling / and product review for these scales!

I love those frag mags! Where did you find those? The ones I see are always thick looking....

I got them from a friend a while back haha

Some progress today! Plumbed the little boy today! Ignore the white pvc they’re just for dry fitting [emoji23]

Made a big mess but almost done!

A lot of progress today! What should I paint the bottom plywood? Red? Orange to match with apex setup? Simple white?

I dry fitted everything. I’m going to put a 50g Rubbermaid below it for the return and reactors and adjacent to it is another 150g Rubbermaid.

I am going to set up 2 of these into my basement in the future just out of curiosity did you have any issues with the tray itself? Such as drilling cracking? What but did you use? Thanks!

I’d coat it and leave it I think the wood grain looks real nice

They came pre drilled [emoji846]

nice! I will be running an ATS on mine as well, I think they are way over looking in the hobby.

Definitely needed for sure for nutrient export!

Thank you!!!
