Frag tank (Trough style)?

[Spongie]

Hey All,

I am thinking of starting another frag tank and I am curious if any of you all have had experience/preference on the plastic trough style tanks. Cheapest? Best Quality? Best Size? Easiest for bulkheads? Best way to run overflows to a sump? Any thoughts or suggestions would be completely welcome here. Thanks:smile:

i have a 12'x2'x2' fiberglass trough that i use a frag system. i built it from plywood and 2x4's and then used 10mil. fiberglass and then gelcoated the inside. it works great!

And im buliding another here in the coming weeks that i will for sure do a build thread on!!
