Frag tank addition build

[Buford25]

So I have decided to setup a frag tank. After going over the pros and cons of setting up another system vs. plumbing directly into my main display. I have decided to plumb directly into my DT.

Very beginning of this project but here we are. The plan is to have what looks like an entire corner section of furniture. I have already built the DT stand and will do the exact same thing to the three frames you see here. Also I am planning on adding a six cube bookshelf in between the stands on the right. I will run the plumbing behind all three pieces of furniture. All hard plumbing.

Thought you all may like to see another project. If any of you have any tips, tricks, or suggestions. Leave them here! I love picking people's brains and hearing what you all have to say. I'll keep you all posted!

This is great. I showed my girlfriend and she said it looked great... maybe I can steal some of your ideas in the future.

Not a problem at all. Hopefully more pictures to come tonight.

Updates so far. I still need to add the backing to the cubes as well as run the plumbing. Here is the progress so far.

My OCD self says hide that cord on the XR15 ;)

Awesome work man. That is a dream setup right there. I love how everything is connected.

Looks awesome! How's it working out? Any more shots of how the system ties in to the original? I would love to see how you've got it tied in, I assume through a drain to the display sump and either a split off your return or another return pump? I'm toying with the idea to tie in another smaller tank to house a clown harem.

I apologize for the delay in response. I have been very busy lately. I will take pictures and give more details and information shortly for you!
