New frag tank build

[bamachamp92]

My new frag tank has been delivered so I thought I would start a new build thread. I have a friend building a stand for me and I will get more pics up when I get the stand. The tank was built by Ty and OCEA and is very nice. I will inspect closer when I get it on the stand. The frag tank is 60" x 30" x 15 high. Im thinking of lighting it with led's but not sure yet, and Im going to plumb it in with my 320.

Nice! Looks like the return is coming up through the overflow?

 

[bamachamp92]

Yes, there is a return in each overflow.

Should be able to get a nice big sump with a fat skimmer under that, that's for sure!

I have a 320 gallon tank with a 180 gallon sump that Im going to plumb this into for stability.

Prepare for a little cycle when you plumb it in. I don't know why but you will get an algae bloom. Then of course fit it with a custom Blue Glow frag rack.:)

Those are nice, how much do they cost?

Just click on the blue glow banner to go to our site. All prices on standard models are available there. We also build custom racks as well.

I always think this is the smartest move anyone can make with a frag tank setup. Looks nice!

but if one crashs won't they all?

 

[luke33]

Sure, but it makes it so much easier for the fragged coral to recover and growth is better. Just don't let your tank crash! lol

The main reason I want these two plumbed together is, I am lazy I wont take care of two tanks. I want to be able to test and water change one system. Also taking frags from one tank to the other will be the same water so no acclimation.
