So I decided to join in, never got around to posting my build for my main tank so I will do one for my frag tank. Decided to do this tank separate from my main system. Had a small crash on the main tank so decided this would be a good way to backup some of my pieces and a way to try things different from the upstairs tank, and compare results. Tank is 48" x 24" x 10". Will be growing some frags out and use this to document the growth. I work at a glass company so getting the glass was easy, front and side panels low iron glass, all sides 1/2" thick. Built a few tanks in the pass so this wan't hard for me.

Very interested in your build. I'm also looking to get a frag tank. I have a small 30L/10Gal I think frag tank at the moment. Plumbed on its own. Standalone so to speak.

Overflow box done, stand needs a simple wrap, and going to make my sump out of the Aqueon 40 breeder. Not hard plumbing this system, will be all braided lines to save time. This is in my basement so stand wrap will be simple to.
