So it begins!!!! Finally accepted the fact that I no longer have room in my tank for acans so I have started a frag tank to grow out mostly my acans but also some other LPS as well. I am just filling it now and will post more pics as I go. The dimensions are 36x18x8 Deep Blue tank with an overflow built in. It will be lit with 2 Kessil A160 lights :D Can't wait to have this fully stocked

So a little update, I got my ATO installed (Hydor smart level, going to write a review on it later). So far it works like a champ. Also got the second kessil installed and connected to the spectral controller. Still have to do some work on cord organization but I will deal with that soon enough. I am working on getting pics of all my corals (lets face it, thats why people read build threads) Any suggestions on how to take good smartphone pics?

Here are a few more pics, the light stands are a cheap DIY project. Used PVC 3/4" PVC pipe and painted it black to match the stand, the pipe is great because it's lightweight, cheap and very durable. Also you can run your cords through the pipe to help hide them and give it an overall cleaner look.
