Looks real darn good! Is that an 8 foot tank? Also, what is the height? Looks really nice.
This is where I got the 2 15x15's.
6 8x8's around the front were from ebay but I dont remember who. Their are a few different ones.
The nice thing about the 8x8's is I can remove the one on the end and vacuum up all detrius where it accumulates.

80g 48x24x16.
I will post frag rack info as soon as I locate it.
45's are Bashea.

That's pretty tall for a frag tank. I usually see them at about 12" tall. I think it looks really nice at 16". I like those dimensions.

Those 3D printed ones are real fancy looking, much better looking than the egg crates. I think I'll give the 8x8's a try as the 15's are a little too big for me, haha. Thanks for the info!

Its not really that tall, 16", but only 13.5" to the glass. Racks make it 12.5".
This is a growout sytem for small colonies.
My 45 frag system is 12" but with frag rack and rocks its much less.

Check with them as they can make any size you want for a custom fit.

I actually like the taller frag tanks. I was thinking of getting mine at 15" tall. Maybe I should just go for 16", I will have to think about this for a few more days, hahahaha. Thanks brother, appreciate it!!

It says your in CA. Im in northern CA. My 80g is a an Aquarium Masters. Very nice tank for the price $400.
Mine is on a 36" stand and I can reach the entire system standing on my feet. The 120 that it replaced had to be serviced on a ladder.

I like the 16" depth much better than the 12".

I use 40 breeder tanks for my sumps and run no baffles.

Here is a few more pics of my 45 when I had alot of corals in it from my 120 breakdown a year ago.
Currently turning it into a shallow reef.
