Built a frag tank

[Brooks Allman]

finally got around to building the stand for this hydroponic flood tray.

Pretty cool build! Is the tray thick enough to hold water and the weight?

Yes, they're built for water for growing plants.

That looks cool!

Is the 6” depth (at water level) going to be enough?

That’s what’s been putting me off one of these compared to the 10” of a lowboy 50

I was thinking the same but I will be placing my lights 24” up for a nice blanket spread and I’m using a photon v2 50 so I should be able to have less light corals around the edges and sps in the middle directly under the light.

Good point.

I was thinking more about ‘tall’ corals or for example a chunk of live rock with some RBTAs attached

I was thinking about that as well for acros colonies but my plan would be to attach a smaller footprint tank into the system at 12” depth.

That's pretty nice. I'm not sure of the dimensions but if someone wanted to something a bit smaller I've bought these for other purposes before and I bet the would work, too.
