Frag Tank Recommendations

[JW3500]

Hi Folks,

I am at the point where I would like to set up a frag tank seperate from my display. I want to put the frag tank in my home office, so I am looking at all in one options, not using a sump. I found these tanks from advanced acrylic -

Of course there are several other options but I want the 12" height.

Since this will be in my office I am looking for something that will have functionality and look nice.

Does anyone have any experience using an AIO frag tank or have any recommendations or other options to consider?

Thanks!
Jason

This looks like a viable option also, I would need to buy frag racks for it seperate -

I own the FT108 and am happy with it. Lmk if you have questions.

Thanks for reaching out. I just ordered the FT556. Looks like exactly what I want. Includes everything but a light.

I got a really good deal on an XR30 radion g5. Very overkill but nice for the dimensions. I have it suspended. Not sure if arm mounts fit but havent really thought about it.

Yup I was checking out the AI Primes but thought overkill as well. Looking for other options....

I picked up a used low boy this weekend for a frag system. Can't beat the price on them, although the build quality is not the highest.

I'm awaiting delivery of my advanced acrylics got the ft115 24x24x8. Went with a hydra 32 super excited. Are you going bare bottom?

 

[JW3500]

Congrats!!

I did go bare bottom for now and will see how it goes. I see lots of posts with successful bare bottoms lately.

I did seed some leftover rock I had in my display sump to help with setting up the frag tank. I put the LR in one of the chambers in the back along with some bio ceramic rings.

I kept a cheap mars aqua amd added a reefbar actinic supplement to the listing set up because that is what I have on my display.

Good luck!!

Thats awesome are you feeding or adding any supplements?

 

[JW3500]

I will but need to take it slow. I just added some more "seeded" rock from my display sump and a small sixline.
