Since we have a FTS thread that is a sticky, why not a frag tank FTS thread?

Same rules, no chatting, just one or two pics, tank discription and a link to your build thread if you have one. Edit your post with new pics as needed. Mines not up yet, who wants to start?

40 Gal Tub with 40 gal sump

Tank: 48"x30"x12"
Light: 250w MH Phoenix 14k
Flow (now): Koralia 4, Tunze 6025, Rio 1100
Skimmer: Red Sea Berlin (free, can't complain)
Sand: Gone

This was all before the tank took a downward spiral.....no.....plunge to crap.

Here are my two aquapod 12 gal tank (before one broke), 70 watt MH lighting No skimmer not filers just a little bit of cheato. I also ran carbon at all times as to prevent any toxins from the leather corals.




Ill update this post with my new 29 gal frag tank when I get a good pic.

This is where I intend to place and grow out frags....seriously. I just wanted something that was a little nicer to look at than frag racks.

20L with 10G sump / fuge
150 Sunpod
9010 Tunze skimmer

Heres a FTS of my 29gal that I setup after my 12 gallon aquapods broke for no reason.



This thread needed a bump anyways.

A work in progress. Just ordered the T5 set up on friday. I think I will actually start a tank thread for this one.

Lot's of work to do on this one but It will be frag tank ready in a few weeks.

OMG is that a hermit on the bottom right? Did you get that at the beach? Hope your going to do something with that cause he's going to be a bulldozer on frags

I plan on adding an over flow and have got some acrylic to cut for a sump that will fit under that stand and that's where he's gonna go. Most of that stuff is from my AP 24 and is being housed temporarily in this one while I was doing some mods to it. I will get a frag rack going after the sump and lights are installed to keep things off them. I have two monster herms in there. The other is on top of the rocks. They are local and have been in my tanks for about a year and a half now.

MOAR!

I agree MOAR!

Meh, I'll play along. Have fun.

is that a perc and a saddleback in the same tank???

Here's mine.



Left to right:
10g ATO tank dumps into 20H sump with SeaClone Skimmer, connected to 30L via 2 U-tubes.

I have a small 10K Coralife Lite over the sump, next comes a 150W 10K MH & a 250W 14K MH light over the prop tank.

On the counter on the right is my 10g QT tank with an AquaClear 70 filter/sump & a 50/50 PC light.
Note the antique stove is still a very real part of the system.

Close up


LPS side (Not top rack growing food for my emerald crab in my display tank.

nope, a pair of ocellaris

You took out your stove to grow corals? That's awesome!!!

Thanks! That's in our apt. on the side of the house. BTW The link to my thread is in my sig.

I see. Still cool just the same.

Thanks! I added close ups of the prop tank. FYI

Sue wins. Kitchen prop system.

Yay I made a sticky!

From a few months ago, racks arent as high, and will be updated w/ some more money to make modular...

also added about 40 lbs of live rock to the sump.

Well done, I am thinking about a 75g frag tank and using my 30g as a sump. Did you paint the eggcrate or buy it black?

I think you buy it black. I have only seen white at Lowes, but my magnetic frag racks that I bought don't look like they are painted.



Brilliant! What a neat idea.

Say hello to my leet'l freen ! ( my 75g frag system

Lookin sweet!

Sup Gary....

Whats up..... I have been bored in the evenings and just thought I would hit some of the blogs (threads for you) to get peoples panties in a wad!

Easy to do here. Just visit the lounge.

Buy it black, in denver, you cant find it at any of the larger hardware stores(HD, lowes, etc), so I had to order through local reef store

45 gallons tied into the main display. DIY rimless made out of 3/4" acrylic.

OMFG those green palys.

Makai I like the clay pot idea. Good for colonies.

Pook: Nice chalices, I've been trying to get my hands on a few but they're hard to find and expensive. I've got a piece of that orange acan, I picked it up from Mvite a while back, they grow well.

Prop, how are you liking the T5 setup?

Omg all those nuclear greens and chalices

Can't wait to move soon so I can start up my frag tank. My main tank's zoo/paly/shrooms/GSP are taking over everything they are touching!

What's so special about the nuke green pallies? Ive got a nice size bunch of them that my urchin carries around with him all over the tank LOL. I plan to frag the heck out of them once I get the frag tank setup.

These pics are giving me some GREAT ideas!

MORE PICS!

Also, if you all could add what you feed or do to maintain the frag tanks?

AGA/Aqueon has a 30g breader thats only 12". Most any LFS should be able to order that for you.

Weeeeeeeeeee

15gal. softy frag tank:

Man this thread needs to be updated so I can go shopping!

Old post I know. I've been looking for a 30br locally and have yet to find anyone that can order it. None of their suppliers carry it... Harder to find that I thought.

+1

What do people do after growing frags? Do you sell them to other people or LFS?

1st post Heres my 15G starfire, maybe I should make a build thread huh.

Here's my 24 gal. Aquapod "fragification station." Chemipure, purigen, and filter floss in a media basket and Chaeto in the back. One Maxijet 1200 pump and one Maxijet 900 providing extra flow through hole in the center of the middle chamber. Lighting is Current Nova Extreme T5. (Also, after placing the tank on the entertainment center, I discovered that I did not have enough clearance to remove the media basket. Used a skillsaw to cut out part of the top panel to provide access.)
