frickenfragger Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well when I broke down and converted all my nano tanks into one 90 and one 58 I was without a frag tank. I though I was going to keep them all on racks in the displays. Well 6 racks and over 100 frags later I have no room and no open sand (filled with frags). So to the disappointment of my wife I am setting up another frag tank. Here it goes. Tank - All Glass 20L Light - Aquatic Life 30" 4X24 T5 (ordered) Bulbs - 2 ATI Blue Plus, 1 Aquablue Special, 1 KZ Fiji Purple (ordered) Filtration - AC70 Modded to Fuge and AC70 with Foam Pad amd ChemPure Elite Water Movement - Vortech MP10 (ordered) Heater - Jager 100W LR - 10lbs (need) LS - none Fish Wrasse (cryptic 6 line maybe) blenny of some sort Here is the tank with the 2 AC70's and heater, and a little RO that over ran last night. Modded AC70 Link to comment

frickenfragger Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah, trying to figure out what I want to do here. I never liked the ones I had in my 20H frag tank. Link to comment
TomBomb Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Man frag tanks are so cool. Like the modded ac70 also. Link to comment
frickenfragger Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Man frag tanks are so cool. Like the modded ac70 also. Thanks, it was really easy to do and used only the parts that came with it. Link to comment
Curry02 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Thanks, it was really easy to do and used only the parts that came with it. What media do you plan on running in the AC70 (if any at all) When you put the baffle piece in did you seal all around? Link to comment
ender wiggin Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 love frag tanks! I haven't even got my main display tank set up yet and I'm already planning on a frag tank! will be watching and learning from this! Link to comment
frickenfragger Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 What media do you plan on running in the AC70 (if any at all) When you put the baffle piece in did you seal all around? Media I will run the foam block that comes with it, and chempure elite in the stock AC70, In the modded no media, just cheato. Yes I did seal all around the baffle and also snipped two of the impeller blades in half for a little slower flow. love frag tanks! I haven't even got my main display tank set up yet and I'm already planning on a frag tank! will be watching and learning from this! Thanks, I learned a lot looking at other peoples frag tanks prior to my first one, then learned even more by mistake on the first one, this one should be good to go, I hope. Link to comment
Billdemart Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Looks awesome. That's the exact same bulb combo I want on my Aquaticlife 24" T5 fixture. I just got it yesterday and hate the stock bulbs. Link to comment

I just got it yesterday and hate the stock bulbs. Thanks for the looks awsome comment, as for the bulbs, when I buy a light now I buy the ati and kz bulbs at the same time. Not only the look, but the extra growth I get from my corals is well worth the extra money for the bulbs. Looks like my Vortech should be here on Tuesday, no word on the light and bulbs yet. I plan on working on the frag racks tonight and when I do my water change on Sun fill up the tank and start the filters and heater. Link to comment
frickenfragger Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Frag racks have been painted. I decided this time to go with 3 different heights, in three seperate pieces. In my last tank it was highest in back and lowest in front. This will be highest in the middle, and a lower level on each side. I think this will hold more frags and in a better way. I will try to get pics up tomorrow. Link to comment
frickenfragger Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 OK, frag racks, water, heater, AC70 modded, AC70 standard all up and running. Should have the vortech tomorrow, and the lights were on back order so should be shipping end of this week or start of this. Link to comment

Weetabix7 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I like your racks. If I were gonna make frag racks I'd make them exactly like that. (I'm actually serious about that. ) Link to comment
frickenfragger Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 I like your racks. If I were gonna make frag racks I'd make them exactly like that. (I'm actually serious about that. ) Thanks, I learned from my two previous designs in my other frag tank. Link to comment
