I'm going through rigorous QT processes on my DT to make sure my Cowfish stays disease free for life, so I needed something to QT coral and inverts. As always, I tend to go a bit overboard, so I snagged this 35g acrylic frag tank. I should have asked a few more questions, as it had a small leak in one corner, and the holes drilled in the back don't seal well with 3/4" bulkheads. Alas, I've finally got it set up the way I want, and finally found a stand it actually fits on. It's somewhat thrown together, and doesn't look the best, but it works
I plan to use it for QT, and grow-out, etc. The plumbing was a bit hard to figure out in the back without an overflow. I rigged up two Dursos and they are working great. The next battle was getting the water level in the sump to handle the backflow, but also make it up to the water line for my ATO to do its' job. I've got about 1/8" left of room in the sump when the pump goes off, lol!
I do not plan on running a skimmer, and will rely on Chaeto for my nutrient export. I don't plan on heavily feeding so I hope this will be sufficient. I need to find a neater looking ATO res, but I have very limited room in the cabinet.. it would have to be less than 4" wide, and extra tall.. hmmm
Any thougts or reccomendations for improvement?
Equipment is as follows;
Vectra S1 Return
AI Prime
EShopps Nano Sump
No-name powerhead
Amazon LED Grow-light for Cheato
Amazon $50 ATO
No-name heater
