35G Frag Tank (El Dorado)

8-Bit Reefer · Sep 11, 2019

Hey all! Not quite sure if this qualifies as a nano but I figured since its a 35g that this is probably the right place for it.
Anyway Ive been mostly a lurker around here for far too long and I just started this Frag tank and about to start several others so I figured that this would be the best time to start contributing some actual content.

Tank: Deep Blue 35g RR and Stand
Sump: Trigger Systems Emerald 26
ATO: Trigger Systems 5g Reservoir and Tunze Osmolator 3155
Lighting: Ecotech Radion XR15's x 2
Flow: MP10 or Nero 5 (undecided) and Vivid Creative Aquatics Random Flow Generator
Return: Sicce Syncra 2.0
Heater: Ehiem Jager 150W
Skimmer: An Old Eshoppes or Reef Octopus I have laying around, OR none.
Filtration: Filter floss, maybe some carbon, marine pure block, and some pond matrix
Accessories: Custom Frag Racks from Thomas at Anything Acrylic

Nice! I'm working on the 60 gallon model of this tank for my frag tank. Just need to grab a sump when I find the one I want for the right price.

I got INSANELY LUCKY, I got it for $600 for tank, stand, sump, heater, fuge light, and a bunch of live rock! but the luck doesn't end there. Someone had posted this for sale on a local forum and I mulled it over for a long time and when I finally decided to get it someone had just purchased it the day before, upset with myself I decided it just wasn't meant to be, and one day like 2-3 months later the same setup was on sale but this time from someone I had just bought an Elos mini from a few months before, and... now it's in my possession. Crazy huh?

Painted the inside of the stand with Killz 2 last night, so it should be all dry now.
Gonna start putting some of this stuff together before I hit the sack tonight, and hopefully I'll have most of it put together by tomorrow. (fingers crossed)
