My new frag tank

So I thought I would share the build of my new frag tank. My current main tank is doing great, but I didn't do that one fresh. I purchased it from someone else. So this frag tank is my first forray into doing things myself. Anyway. Let's. Get started




I wanted something I could grow stuff in, wouldn't b overwhelming, and would enable me to b able to have somewhere to quarantine fish. Which I have never had.

I started off by picking a tank and decided on a 24x24x12. Dunno why but when I saw it. It screamed at me.

I then made a stand. It want the best but I threw something together that would do the job.


Any way I am gonna post pics of where I stand so far.

 

Here is the stand




It is all two by fours and 1/2 sheet of plywood

 

Here are a couple more. . In the last one u can see where I left room for upgrades

 

Stands looks very interesting! You should have no issues with it. How many gallons is the frag tank? Is that a 30 breeder?

Are you going to do egg crate for the bottom?

 

A few more pics should help

There you can see the tank on the stand

Here is a shot of stand with sump below

 

The sump is a 20l I picked up go $10. I know I could have gone smaller but wanted a big fuge to grow macro

 

More pics with the plumbing beginnings

 

I filled with water to test and whoops!!!!! I was draining straight into the skimmer section and had no flow into the fuge.


A trip to lowes should fix this


Btw. Skimmer just arrived via FedEx earlier Just an sc-65 from a aquariums.com but it should do the trick. Pics of that Tomm

 

Still looking good. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

 

Where did you get the frag tank? Im looking for one that size.
