I am in the process of setting up a frag system set up and then on to my fish breeding stations?
Looking for ideas? Please post pics of the whole setup with sumps if you have them.
 
Tagging along. I'm working on a stand for my frag tank. It's only a ten gallon but it will plumbed into my main system which is a 29 gallon with a 15 long sump.

Also tagging along, planning on adding a decent sized frag tank to my next system. Thanks for the thread, it's a great idea and will probably be helpful to many reefers.
 
I have a pretty simple attached FT. I will see if I can't get a few pics up after the house gets cleaned :)
 
This is my frag tank

Its a 210gal hot tub with a 55gal sump.

Not anything special.. just an idea put together. The light is on a temporary rack. Soon my 3 AI's will be above it.

Just starting mine 21 gallon tank will have 29 gallon sump. Not as big as I wanted but it was all free.

OMG is that really a freaking HOT TUB!! thats crazy... did you buy the hot tup for that reason? is it actually running? Did it have chlorine in it it prior to this ? I have a hot tub that needs to be repaired but maybe ill make it it a FRAG TANK!?! lol

I got it from my neighbor for free. they had it fully running with chlorine. everything works on it. I dont use the jets on it no need I have two fans in it. It started as lets see if this works.
 
I currently don't have one but I will set up a new one with my new tank so I can be a stealth vendor! MUHAAA MUHAAAA!
 
my 23 gallon leemar, should be running soon. yes that is a massive 300+ gallon rated recirculating skimmer :tongue:

Here is mine. When I set the tank up I decided to use half of the 135 gal basement sump as a frag tank. Dimensions of frag section are 36X18. Since I didn't want to run a fuge (carbon dosing) I figured I had the room so why not.

Old Pictures, but you get the idea;

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

    Votes: 7 26.9%
  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

    Votes: 5 19.2%
  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 5 19.2%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 8 30.8%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

    Votes: 5 19.2%
  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
