So I've been slowly piecing together a frag tank build.
So far I have a return pump, ten gallon tank, and a par38 and gooseneck (in the mail)
I want to get the frag rack out of my display, and also will be plumbing this frag tank into my system to get a total of about 50 gallons.
The frag tank will be plumbed to my 15 gallon long sump that has a filter sock and a reef octopus nwb 110.
I got a par38 from reef radiance that has 3 blue, 4 white, 2 violet, and 1 each green red orange. The gooseneck is coming from reef breeders.
The stand is being built to match my display stand, which I also built. It will only be 24 inches tall to make it easier to get into the tank while sitting in front of it.
I'm going to get an eshopps nano overflow box to match up with my mag 3. I will put a ball valve on the return line and use a utube outflow from Dr's foster smith with a siphon break drilled into it.
For flow I'm going with a hydro evo 600 once my wp25 comes in for my dt. I'm thinking about putting two in it on a wave maker.
I will build my racks out of egg crate until I can order some black acrylic ones from the blue glow.
I know a ten gallon is small but this is mainly for grow out and frags to trade. Also may try some sps in it until I can upgrade to less on my dt.
Here is what I did today
And after ten minutes with a razor...
More pics will come as I get more done to the tank. Stand should be built, sanded, stained, and sealed by Friday.
