APLATN13's 10g Frag Tank with Sump Build

Recommended Posts

I'm starting to build me a nice frag tank with a sump. So, I contacted John at Advance Acrylic for a Frag tank and a custom sump.

The spec of the frag tank is 24x12x8 3/8" thick with black bottom and back with a 1" bh hole on the top left back and a 1/2" bh hole on the top right back of the tank. Tank will be rimless with rounded corners and polished.

The spec of the sump is 24x10x12 1/4" thick with a skimmer section of 7", return section at 3.5", an ato section of 4" and the rest of the space for the fuge. Sump will be made with black baffles with black sides, bottom and back.

The tank and sump should be ready for shipping anyday this week. I am really excited. I have also placed an order with BRS for plumbing and some hardware.

BRS Order:

ATI 24" Powermodule Hybrid

Black Egg Crate for Aquariums 2' x 2' Square
2 1/2” Flare Nozzle for 1/2” Loc-Line Modular Hose

I have also contacted Dave from Nano Box Reef for a quote on a custom fuge light. Hopefully, we can come up something that will work with my sump :D There is alot more to plan and put together but hopefully all work out soon.

Thanks,
Anthony

Well, my ATI Sunpower came in today. So, i did the ceiling mount and hooked it up. Anyone got a SPS Schedule for the sunpower would be great! Still a newbie to the ATI stuff...

Thanks guys for the complements!

 

Here is the frag tank pretty much setup and my fraging station. I frag a few pieces of my Grape Monti and ASD Blue Super Tort yesterday.
