Upgrading Sump and Adding a Frag Tank

[CayanneDan]

Relatively new to the hobby but have the bug pretty bad. I was given the opportunity to add a Frag tank and I jumped at it. I still need to build out the fascia around the Frag Tank, hook up the ATO, Finish the Water station in the garage and then plumb that in so I can do a water change by opening and closing a couple of valves.

Here are some pictures of my build:

Display tank: 90 Gallon

That looks like a sweet setup, I would have run both tanks to the same sump. But then again mine are separate cause they are in different parts of the house. I'd recommend buying some expensive pieces that you can grow and frag, that's what I did. Corals will pay for themselves in the long run.

Both tanks are running off the new sump. the Drain from the display tank is run along the floor to keep it inconspicuous. bonus is now I have tons of storage under the display tank. All done in time to go to the WWC Farm open house on Saturday!
