New Closet Frag Tank Setup

[Colorful Corals]

Heres my new frag tank setup inside my walk in closet. I plan to start fragging some of my corals and buying a few extra to sell or trade online and locally
I also have a quarentine tank in the closet to but ill be moving it into another room for precaution
Any tips on equipment and frags?
I plan to buy mostly used equipment trying to go budget friendly

Don't leave it in the closet or you with have humidity and mold issues. Unless you add an exterior venting fan in the closet...

I second figuring out a plan for humidity/condensation. Otherwise, I love it!

FWIW, I have about 30’ of saltwater surface area in a 10’x12’ bedroom (that’s a lot in a small area!). I use a little dehumidifier made by “Hisense” that I got for under $200 at Lowe’s. It’s more than enough to keep the humidity level of the room in check. These things simply run… forever. We have one at work that is used to dry up what is effectively a swamp. That thing is severely neglected but has been running like a champ for many years now. I highly recommend them.

Already have a dehumidifier

Still not a good idea to run it in the closet

If you’re dead set on doing this in your closet I recommend a little work on the space. At minimum an exhaust fan and the ability for it to draw fresh air into the room passively. Fresh air in and out is a must for stable ph. I’d also consider replacing the carpet with tile. ( add a floor drain if you’re going nuts with it). It can be a cool little space. As far as equipment fb marketplace as well as the market place here has stuff all the time. Given the dims on the low boy look for lights with good spread over intensity. Look for ai blade grows or some orphek strips
