Show us your prop/frag tanks!

proud2bcanadian · 01-06-2005, 08:30 PM

I'm thinking of starting a 6' long x 2' wide x 1' high SPS frag tank.
Anyone have any pictures of theirs (it doesn't have to be SPS)?

Thank you,

TTT, I wanna see some frag tanks....

proud2bcanadian · 01-07-2005, 10:26 PM

TTT, somebody has to have some pictures!!

forestal · 01-07-2005, 10:53 PM

well, not sure if this counts, but when filled and cycled will be used for frags...
I am almost done with the plumbing for my new 120 starfire cube, then will add sand and live rock to the 2 50 gallon tubs for regugia/grow out tanks...

I realize the lights and all are messy, but err, oh well, function is more important than looks

mps9506 · 01-07-2005, 11:24 PM

cool, what kind of containers are those? Don't look like the typical rubbermaid stock tanks.

forestal · 01-07-2005, 11:30 PM

agricultural type, got off the net for 50 each...don't have any local agway with rubbermaids, and these are nice and narrow

proud2bcanadian · 01-07-2005, 11:32 PM

Wicked! I would love some of those!

Craig Manoukian · 01-08-2005, 02:16 AM

Way cool Dan! What kind of lighting are you using? TIA!

Jendub · 01-08-2005, 03:46 AM

Jen can you please describe your fabulous set-up?

forestal · 01-08-2005, 09:57 AM

Thanks Craig...diy (by another reefer) old setup i got for cheap...3 175 MH, 2 72"actinic vho's...old bulbs, but they will do for now until the system is up and running several months

Jen, amazing tank...is that plywood? i have built a few as well..i also would love to know the details

mps9506 · 01-08-2005, 10:53 AM

yah! That's the kind of dining room I want

proud2bcanadian · 01-08-2005, 11:34 AM

That's an amazing setup Jen!
I would like to know the details too (lighting, water movement...).

Thanks for sharing!

It is a 2'x4' by 10" deep. It's made out of 1/2" plywood coated in two part marine opoxy paint. It has dual 1" overflows, it is currently running a quite one 4000 as a return, which gives about 700 gph at this hieght. The lights are 4X55 watt pc 50/50. I had two of this guys hooked up side by side, but I took one down. You should have seen it, from the outside it looked like space ships were landing in my kitchen.
