Peppie's Rimless Frag Tank

Hi all, been awhile since I have posted any goodies!
Thought I would share my build with ya!
Pics in a sec. Lots of pics, and very little text.
Feel free to ask any questions.
This tank was up and running for a short time (3 mo.) then broke down and put in storage. It will be set up in the future as a frag tank with a full, separate sump.

Here ya go!

 

Now for the sides to the bottom.



Lets add some black!!!

 

The front and back panels are 1'' X 13'' tall X 33'' long.
The two sides are 34'' X 13'' X 32''
I know they are odd numbers, this is what I had laying around.

For the time being this will be an AIO. So here is the filtration chamber.
I added the two weird looking baffles to give the 1/4'' divider wall some support.
The divider wall will act as the overflow height.








The pump is a MJ1200, Yes, it is plumbed on the bottom. It will make sense in a min.

 

Sweet! How thick are the walls?

 

Front and back are 1''.. The 2 sides are 3/4''

 

The pump is sitting on the bottom for the return cause I want to use a spinning water sprinkler head for flow in the DT part of the tank. A fellow reefer sent me a couple of them to play with.
This little gadget is awesome. I was able to drill out the holes a little bigger to get more flow. I was also able to turn each individual arm 300 deg. That allowed me to point them in different directions to either speed up the spin or slow down the rpm of the spin.




I ended up placing the spinner 1/2'' from down the top of the water line.


I also uped the pump to a Mag 5

 

Very cool. I like the black trim and am interested in seeing how the sprinkler works.

 

Thanks Frank,
Sorry to say I never got a video of the spinner spitting water.

Here is the high rise that will hold a crap load of frags

 

Awesome! Definitely in for this, looks cool so far
