Bump

This is the exact type of thread I've been looking for. I am about to embark on a frag tank journey and was hoping for some ideas/guidance...

@NowGlazeIT @Lost in the Sauce wanna chime in on this. In the process of finishing my frag tank now 55g. It will compliment the custom 90g I am in the process of building now. With both going in the main living area. Finishing up returns and then ready for water test. @NowGlazeIT has a dual low boy set up thats awesome

I just built mine out of egg crate, but it helps if you have a center support. Pardon the dirty glass

Oh man, you need clean that. Maintenance is the key to success and my pet peev! ;) But anyway I'm looking for crazy cool show racks. Something that pops under the UV's and blue's.

Ha yes it’s dirty glass but not a lack of maintenance

either way pretty frag racks require a lot of maintenance to keep pretty which is why I use cheap egg crate - tossed in the trash as needed, coral grows on if? Cut that section off and glue it to a frag plug.

What @N1tew0lf1212 posted is similar to what I'd use. The light diffuser "egg crate" from any hardware store and then use PVC pipe or similar to raise other levels. Also, you can DIY the legs using the egg crate material with a heat gun. It's hard to see but just right of the center front there's a small one I made.

You can always contact @Aquarocks as well. They do custom scapes and frag racks. It'd be rock instead of plastic.

Give them the dimensions and general idea of what you're looking for and see what they say?

I know all about eggcrate. Im looking for display items for shows. I did a search but only a few popped up. I want Made in USA. I'm leaning towards a phone call to Synergy Reef.
