    Ok we'll this whole week off I've started up my frag tank that I've been longing so long for....
    I recently picked up a 40 breeder at Petco's labour day buck a gallon deal..
    then I had a aqquired a dual t5 36 Incher from traders here locally..
    I've had a dead half bucket of LR and have a full pail of IO so I'm good to go...
    As for substrate i'm going sandless bottome and have DIY'd my frag rack from egg crate light difuser I picked up from HD...
    I have about 6 pumps moving the water right now for a better mixing capablilty due to my salt I had poured in are sitting on the bottom glass...I'll decrease the flow in the upcoming weeks once I don't see anymore visible salt on the ground...
    I've takin a few pics to show all you fellow reefers please feel free to leave comments...
    I can't wait to get reef plugs reef glue and coral rx to start fragging!:)

    I was going to use spuer glue but went with a faster quicker route...
    I went with zip ties...
    I have just attached the HOB skimmer BH100 octopus and I was having a hard time how to make this skimmer work...
    Although I got it to work and boy oh boy Is it amazing...
    btw how long should I let this frag tank cycle?
    When the water evaps due to condenastion what water should I top off with...regualr RO water or mixed fresh salt water...
    Is it nesscssary to be doing water changes doing the cycling process...

    just a quick update on my fragger,

    I've went into my 83 Main DT and pulled a bunch of random softies and came up with these after the aftermath...
    ;D
