teenyreef Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Lol the tank looks like it should be at a LFS I agree. But I think I found a solution to the problem! 1 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Do what I do. Buy more frag racks. Just ordered two more. So that will total 5 but get all the monti frags off the damn sand bed ?? http://m.ebay.com/itm/Pure-Flow-Large-Clear-Acrylic-N52-Magnetic-Coral-Frag-Rack-/122226107646?hash=item1c753e64fe%3Ag%3A4WEAAOxy%7EXxSaSv%7E&_trkparms=pageci%253A51c6d76f-df8c-11e6-a5ea-74dbd18066ed%257Cparentrq%253Abf22c5841590a785462fb228ffb1e627%257Ciid%253A2 1 Quote Link to comment

Got this from a local reefer today! 20170121-untitled-003.jpg by TeenyReef, on Flickr Deep Blue 30g rimless reef ready with cabinet, plumbing, DJ-style power strip, cabinet light, and an Somatic modular sump. He kept the skimmer that comes with the sump, and he didn't have any of the modules for the sump, so I still have to buy some stuff. But the best part is I paid $225 for everything. I feel like I pulled off a Harold-style deal! 11 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 wow, that's very nice! looks like new! and you finally got a sump!!!!! Yeah, I'm very excited to finally have a sump - this frag tank is going to have the best equipment and set up of all my tanks, which is kind of ironic. That is a stupid good deal !! Wow. This frag tank will be amazing Thanks! Yeah, when I saw it posted I messaged the seller immediately. Even so, I was #2 in line. Fortunately buyer #1 backed out and I got the tank. Score! I've always wanted a shallow tank ever since I found your thread. Who knows, maybe I'll run it as a display tank someday! Quote Link to comment

Bowen1022 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Lol, I told her it was a super teeny price! lol sweet deal! But Im still wondering why it wont be set up as an actual tank... 1 Quote Link to comment
J-Ranko Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 lol sweet deal! But Im still wondering why it wont be set up as an actual tank... Because then the cost won't be so teeny... But I agree it's too good to be just a frag tank. Quote Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 What light are you going to use ? Quote Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 lol sweet deal! But Im still wondering why it wont be set up as an actual tank... cuz he needs an excuse to get another tank but can't be an actual tank 2 Quote Link to comment
kguske2 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Awesome tank and even better deal! Still wish I had my deep blue 30 sometmes! 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 cuz he needs an excuse to get another tank but can't be an actual tankHa ha, actually it will be a real tank, it's just going to be set up to grow frags, at least at first. Awesome tank and even better deal! Still wish I had my deep blue 30 sometmes!I'm really impressed, both the tank and the stand are really nice What light are you going to use ?Well, I was considering Nanobox Duo, Kessil A360WE, or Radion XR15g4. But earlier today somebody listed the Kessil with controller and gooseneck for $315 so I'm going to try that and see how it works. I actually like the idea of a single source light so I'll have shaded areas for low light corals like acans. Because then the cost won't be so teeny... But I agree it's too good to be just a frag tank. Well, so far I've bought a pump, skimmer, sump modules, and light. It's definitely going to be a real tank 5 Quote Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Oh yeah, you just reminded me, I at one point need to have a gravity fed ATO going, homemade using the dripline I got from Stinkybunny. Want to keep things as consistent as possible for these babies. 1 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Wicked deal. Do the yoga mats work pretty well for levelling? I've never done it myself but that's what I hear from the smart people on the forums Oh yeah, you just reminded me, I at one point need to have a gravity fed ATO going, homemade using the dripline I got from Stinkybunny. Want to keep things as consistent as possible for these babies. Yep, that will be nice! Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Sweet deal Teeny! The yoga mat will be just fine. I grabbed one that was a 1/4" off amazon. Hopefully that light works out for you. I had one on my Fusion 20 and liked it but yes way to many shadows for me. 1 Quote Link to comment
