College Reef Tank

[Foxy-88]

Hey I finally found your tank build!!! Good to see you've started your cycle! I'm excited to see the progression of your tank

Thanks for following along!!!

Next week I'm going to get two thirty gallon containers, sorry for the bad pic and it's not specific, but this is basically what I'm planning to do. When I build it I'll take pics and post all the steps. It's going to be as compact as possible

I'm going to paint the pipes black and the fitting yellow for GaTech colors [emoji57]

Very close to finishing my sump/fuge design and then I'll share it [emoji33]

I would not be able to leave mine at home, I couldn't trust anyone haha. Hopefully it won't be too much trouble to move

I've been racing to be ready for Reefapalooza! I'm trying to get everything as stable as possible before and I'm down to about a month now

Your frag tank looks more like an actual tank though, I like the aqua scape it just looks more like a nano reef

mine? I don't have it setup yet haha my frag tank is gonna be built inside of my dorm room next semester... its a 36" wide x 18" deep and 9" high with most likely a crystal trigger cube sump below it the stand and everything will be built right inside my dorm room. Even got permission from the college to store as much water as I need to pull it off :D

Oh I though I saw something that you put that was going to be your frag tank never mind. Trigger sumps are nice. It's gonna be in a dorm?

yup I reserved a private room for next year :) its twice the size of a normal dorm to give me plenty of space to have everything setup and much more :D

Oh gotcha, mine is going to be moved in an apartment so I'll have a 75 and my dog in it lol

I'd love to live off campus -.- to much of a pain for me to bother with it honestly

I'm a college reefer too. I got 2 more classes to finish and then I'm done luckily though. I'm setup in a house with my girlfriend though but I rent and will be moving in a year or two hopefully

yeah I only have two semesters left then I'm moving into an apartment for my intern before I graduate. My goal is to grow out a lot of corals in a frag tank and my display at home then once I get my own place setup a bigger tank. Then keep what I want or frag it then sell off what ever I decide not to keep to help with the build :)
