You know me always trying to reinvent the wheel and fix things that aren't broken. . . And always as cheap as possible. . .

I saw these and it got me thinking:

What an excellent "low boy" style aquarium!!!

I imagine linking a few of these together attached to a sump would be great for growing acros. . . But with the max water level being what 7"? Is that enough height to grow frags to fragable sizes?

NO, this is NOT an actual plan and NO, it is NOT a prospective business venture haha just day dreaming while stuck waiting for an appointment and wondering how low a water level people think could be used to successfully propigate SPS (namely acros)??? (By successful I mean could you grow them quick enough and large enough to turn a profit)
