From frag tank to shallow reef

[Why stop at one]

Had to do a little downsizing from my 75 to something a little bit more manageable for my moves coming up. So found a JBJ frag tank on market place and swapped some stuff over. Had to make some modifications to the return pump and reseal some of the baffles but other than that everything is running smoothly hopefully everything stays happy.

I’ve ran nano tanks in the past but was young so any advise is greatly appreciated.

I love shallow tanks! Check out my build thread if you like, it's a frag tank but I throw in whatever I like, and a frankly enjoy the DIY system more than I enjoy my red sea display. Any questions you may have, ask away!

I’ve been watching your thread for a while I absolutely loved watching you build everything and set it up. By far one of my favorite part of the hobby is building tanks doing the plumbing and see all the excitement in someone as they start on there journey.

Been a while since I posted army has had me busy. The tank itself is running great. Just did a water change. My mushrooms are amazing and even spawning little babies. I did loose my Duncan and my gonies are not looking very happy these days. Other than that it’s going good.

It was my 'test-tank', back when I re-entered the hobby. I ended up getting two (2) 150-gallon tanks made, but to be honest, I really wanted an 8 to 10- foot shallow tank, maybe only 12" tall (10" usable to the weir) like this frag tank. I couldn't swing the shipping/truck-delivery of such a long glass tank a way that would have made sense.

that makes sense. I do love shallow and lagoon tanks they are my favorite.

Got some new things for the tank. They have been the tank for a couple days and everyone is looking happy.
