Naturalreef Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 After a long break, I'm back in the reefing game:). I still have my IM Fusion 20 and stand. But I wanted to have a frag tank so when corals are being pestered or having issues I can heal them and propagate in the frag tank. I built this one,for around ~$65 minus pump and light. I seen a picture of one online and decided to give it a try. I'm very happy with it and purchased two AI prime to light it up. I'm temporarily using a fluval led version 2.0 that I got real cheap to test on a couple of frags, but will hang the primes next week. Leak test tonight and filling with saltwater and live rock in sump tomorrow. The tank is silent and will be a good addition to my reef keeping:) Link to comment

VW_TDI_02 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That looks great. The only thing I'm wondering about is lateral sturdiness if it gets pumped or anything like that. Hopefully within a year I'll be able to set up a nice frag tank with those trays you have. Great looking plumbing too! Link to comment
Naturalreef Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Thanks VW! The frame is incredibly stable and wants to stay that way! It has a wide foot print even though the pictures make it look narrow. Bumped into it numerous times, shook it side to side....other than very minimal water spill it will not tip over at all.

That's awesome! Definitely ready to see it with those primes on it and full of frags! Link to comment
