Well, I just added a custom 20L to my nursery tank so I can get some fish (poop) added to the system...

Newest tank is online... Still need a light over it, this POS PC is just to see what I'm doing.


Shared Sump:


Work table (folds up)


Light directly overhead:


Some zoanthids are in the hopper...








Yes, that's a Darth Maul on the left... Thanks Gabe!

Sorry, too much work to keep track of a waiting list... Gonna be a little while to get my broadstock grown out first. sad.gif Probably gonna get another T5 setup, but no hurry, need to fill up the lower tank first.

Here's a FCS (Full Closet Shot). biggrin.gif



And the existing tank before plumbing the addition.

is that t5 on the lower?

Looks great! I would consider adding some eggcrate to keep the frags from being knocked down underneath the racks. Here's how I did mine when I was using my 20g for a frag tank.

Yep, 2x24w, would like to do at least that on the upper...

Thought about that Glenn, but the purpose of the upper is to get some fish in the system, and it would really close off a portion of the tank if I walled it off. sad.gif Might have to live with it, or just be more carefull with my frags...

Thanks! Not like I have much choice, this was the last space in the house before getting booted to the garage. wink.gif

What kind of fish are you planning?
calvin415
Not sure... Open to suggestions. Not too much will fit in a 20L but I'd like to have something to elimate any algae.
fewskillz
algae in a 20 long...

Maybe a bicolor blenny or a very small dwarf angel.

Where do you buy your frag plugs from? Looks like a pretty big box.
calvin415
I make them myself... biggrin.gif

I sure as hell hope the bacteria doesn't mess with the Mauls wacko.gif Glad to see they were opening up alright. Did you get 2 or 3 heads?
calvin415
So far the Mauls are okay, I was able to get 2 heads. biggrin.gif
nemmy
I will be joining you on the closet frag club soon.

Hows the frag tank going Calvin?
Bigwavedave
Show us an update. I just realized I am north of you in Parker. I need to come shopping....
rbrusletto
Good to see more people in CO fragging smile.gif

I'm in Lakewood
calvin415
Sorry for the lack of updates guys, I just saw this thread bumped, forgot it was out here... I don't have any updates as the tank has become an algae nightmare and I've been focused on getting my maintenance biz going instead. I'll likely liquidate the remaining frags I have but have to figure out what is in there first.
