Is it wrong to have a frag tank bigger than your display? Hope not, here we go!
My plan is to do some major aquaculturing and use different light combinations from my display. (Display tank thread in signature)
Here's the 8ftx3ft pentair trough tank. 180g I can fit two of these in my basement space if things work out. I'm using a 100g Rubbermaid as my sump. I love that my basement drain is in the perfect spot in case of disaster.
150w red dragon return pump, manifold for carbon, chaeto reactor, etc
Water station, already had this built for the display
Start of the equipment board, just testing stuff out, so it's a mess.
I may add a third drain running full siphon soon to quiet things up. Not sure how much surface skimming I really need.
Here's a shot from the end, just got water moving! I have a gyre on this end too, anxious to see what the flow is like and if it will be too linear. May add some pumps on the side.
Next up is cycling and adding lights. Probably a couple of weeks before that will happen.
