Hello everyone, if you guys can show me your 20 gallon below frag tank set ups so that I can get an idea of how to use my new 18 x 18 x 8 that would be awesome. I was going to run an AI prime on the frag tank And just use it as a tank for one of my other tank has overgrown frags.

Here is an example I was able to find from one of our members! This might not be the exact dimension, but it could give you some ideas!

I am in the process of setting up a all in one tank that is going to be my frag/ coral QT tank - not counting the AIO chambers its 10.5" deep, 18.5" wide and 15" tall. I have a custom coral frag rack coming (will arrive tomorrow)

right now I have for it:
Frag rack (hold 100 plus frags) -(dreamlabdesigns2 on Etsy /luckyduck84135 on reddit for the build of the frag rack
Aquetto due 2 ATO
Inkbird controller for the heater /heater
ocean revive t247b light (overkill for the tank but will be turned waaaaaay down)
spin-stream nozzle for the return
530GPH mini-wave maker
back chambers - hold the ATO, pump, heater, then one chamber is full of various small live rock rubble and the other chamber has my sachem matrix, carbon and filter floss

going to run bare bottom tank

This is very similar to my setup. I have an inkbird and ai prime. I need to get an ato for both of my tanks.

what did you end up going with? Are you planning on putting any fish in it?
