I hate frag racks

Very nice! I hate racks as well. Every scratch in my glass is from a frag rack. Learned to never put them on the front glass after my RSR250.

Whats wrong with the frag racks? If you wait long enough eventually they will disappear :D

Is it plumbed directly into your sump. Can u share pics of the plumbing. Would like to replicate

Yes. It’s an Elos 12” cube

I drilled the back and installed this over flow

I can’t remember the exact return pump I used but it’s in line with what the overflow manufacturer recommends. The overflow return has had a built in wave/pulsing action. So the water is pumped in from the sump and returned to the sump.

Nothing in a frag tank. Perfect in a frag tank but not in a display

I saw some really nice natural-looking frag racks made out of what I think was resin (so kind of like a coral insert) at RAP Chicago.

I too hate frag racks in my display. I went with a external recirculating skimmer and turned the skimmer chamber of my sump to a frag tank complete with a gen4 xr15 pro and a mp10.

My whole 180 gallon tank has started to become a frag tank lol. I got 5 racks just in the main display of cut corals healing/growing for me for when I get back in town... don't mention all the growout plates on the ground as well as my "frag tank" in a sump lol.
