If you tired of fish you could put one of those forever pool makes on one end and have a sweet pool for the kids.

It probably would have been cheaper to do that from the get go ! :moneygrubber:

My buddy Ethan and I built the stand for the frag tank. We used 2" x 4", 2" x 6", & simpson hangers for added strength.

We also built out a ledger using 2" x 8" and lag screws. The plan is to put three 55 gallon tanks up there. One for saltwater mixing, the second for r/o water, and the third will be for a gravity fed refugium for the main display. I also plan to build out a second ledger for a qt, culture tank, breeding tank, & whatnot.
