Well I had been contemplating doing a frag tank for a while and finally bit the bullet. Went down to shoreline pet (local shop) today and picked up a 34 gallon deep blue rr frag tank today.
Going to use my old 20 long sump, return pump from a old setup, using a reef octopus bh50 skimmer and spare led light. Should be a fairly quick build and assembly. Hoping to get this done by the weekend and water flowing.

Stay tuned.......

Well it didnt get it filled with water as i had planned but i made the stand and all that needs to be done is primer/paint it.

While at home depot i decide what better of a reason to buy a new power tool so.....

Here is a shot of the stand. I gathered some things of what i had from my original 29 gallon to utilize on this frag tank. My plans are to fill the sump with rock and keep the tank bb. I may keep one fish in there, depending on how algae is controlled. My return setup is going to have a manifold, so that way i can run gfo or carbon if need be.

Looking good. I am setup the sane tank. I bought mine used. Could you tell me the size of the nylon bolts for the overflow size are if you can. Nibs didn't come with any.
