Dual lowboy frag tank build

[leepink23]

Fragged a few corals, this weekend, these pictures are predominantly blue light. Hoping to have lights installed and one frag tank running by the weekend. I have decided on a halide for one tank and already have 2 hydra 26 for the other. Unfortunately I over tightened one of the frag tank this weekend, because the bulkhead was leaking(I know now this was dumb), and cracked the back panel.

Will get the correct thread stainless steel screws tomorrow and mount the hydra 26, bulkheads are coming in as well so hopefully will have the system up and running by Sunday

Got the left tank up and running, no leaks!

 

[leepink23]

Added a valve to stop the massive amount of water that back siphons when the return shuts off. Now I am just waiting on it to dry before re-installing

I got the Tunze Ato setup and running. I ordered my light for second tank and decided to get the Cozumel Sun Halide with m80 ballast and radium 250 watt bulb.

 

[leepink23]

Waiting on my m80 ballast and a few adapter pieces to get the Cozumel sun mounted. This thing is huge . Will mount 14 inches over the frag tank.

Got my board mounted to the studs, got brackets mounted. Still need the adapters to hang the halide, waiting on the cpr overflow box to drill the tank then plumb it.

 

[leepink23]

Got lights mounted. Will drill tank on right next week and have plumbed and running next weekend

Love the look of halides

Tank 2 drilled and plumbed, will add water tomorrow!

 

[leepink23]

Water added. Both tanks running! So far I just have 2 black mollies and 1 green chromis. I have a yellow eye being quarantined by a LFS.

 

[leepink23]

Added lids to the overflow box, added eheim auto feeders with feeding stations, setup the doser although not planning on dosing anytime soon.
