frag build

Hello fellow reefers, I quit saltwater about a year ago, however I decided to get back into the hobby and this time, I am looking to make some basic cash. I have a aquarium laying around and I would like to make a frag tank. Please take a look at my details below and help me decide if I am...

Hello Everyone! My name is Tristan, I am getting back into saltwater after 10+ years of being out of the game. My son and I have started a 50G all-in-one acrylic aquarium with premix water, agri-live sand, and Live rock. Currently been up for 2 weeks and already introduced a couple of Firefish...

I figured I’d give a small frag tank a shot and document the process along the way. I hope you follow along and help me make the best of it!

I have a frag tank that is 24x24x8 and I have a stand that is 18x16x36 in dimensions. My question: will the stand support this mini frag tank? I know that it will be overhanging 3-4" but since its a small tank which will only have frag racks and corals, should I be concerned or it will work?

Well its finally happening i have waited and watched for a long time on marketplaces from here to craigslist to facebook. But the time has come for my newest adventure. I will be bringing home my new baby today a 65 gal with stand. I will be taking a page out of @NowGlazeIT and @Projects with...

Should’ve documented more along the process of building the tank but I have a couple pictures

Well, it is finally starting to get a little real. My stand materials arrived yesterday from Framing Tech. I was a little miffed there were no assembly instructions, but once I organized all the parts, and spent a few minutes with the CAD drawings, it was pretty obvious. This is what 172 lbs of...

36x24x16 has a overflow down to the sump. DC pump below will eventually have a fuge. Going to keep softies, gobies and blennies mostly.

Hello... I'm Jeff in San Antonio, TX. After years without a system up due to regular moves I've bought a house in 2020 and am now ready to get wet again. After lengthy consideration I'm putting a Nuvo Fusion Pro 30L AIO reef tank in my living room. My goal is for a very high finish top of...

See my recent build here, a nice and very professional frag tank with a nice acrylic sump I had studied all the details carefully before I start, please let me know what you think? Tank dimenstions: 120x70x35 cm Glass thickness 12mm

Title.

Well I decided to start a separate build thread for my frag tank since it is extremely low tech vs my display tank so I figured it deserved it’s own thread. Tank - standard Aqueon 20g long (30”x12”x12”) Filtration - Aqueon QuietFlow20 (This came with the 15g column tank I bought as a Refugium...

Hey Reefers- Just some quick background information: I am a recent Biology graduate currently in the process of applying to the clinical laboratory scientist program. I have only been a reefer for 3 years , but have been passionate about it since day 1. Though I love having a show tank, I...

Hello fellow reefers! So I have finally determined that a 40 gal breeder frag tank will probably be best for my space and I'm going to have a 20 long sump with this. My LFS recommended an: - Eshopps overflow box - sicce 2.0 return pump - bubble magnus ES 5 (though I can't find this model) - 2...

Hey guys. So I'm setting up a mostly softies, some lps, and very minimal to no sps corals frag tank soon. I'm planning on getting the IM Lagoon 25 for this build but was curious on lighting. I've been debating now on lighting. I'm new to this side of things as the tank I have now is a biocube...

Hello, So I am going to try to track this build on this thread. I recently found a good deal on a used set up which I think needs a little TLC and it needs a few other things as well. This is my first frag tank and it will be a long process before it is up and running simply because I have to...

I have a biocube 29, the sump is pretty basic. Chamber 1 hydor slim skim. Opened up the flow into chamber to filter floss, purigen, chemi pure elite, then rock rumble. Chamber three 3 heater and return pump. Two power heads in the back for extra flow in the tank. I have mars-aqua lights on a...

Hey all, has anyone seen a tank in someones home or does anyone run a tide pool tank? Building a 48"x36"x13" tide pool frag tank. I can go into the logistics of how I'm gonna do it later but I just wanted to see how anyone else have done theres. And as always pics are always the best!

I have been interested in starting my own Frag Setup and would like to know what are most of you heavy hitters using as a Tank Setup. What size tank? How many Gallons? Do you use Frag Racks if so what do you use? And the Fun one WHAT ARE YOU GROWING???

I want to put together a frag tank, mostly LPS, a bit larger than my current one which is 8 gallons. I'm trying to decide between the IM 25 Lagoon or the JBJ 20 Lagoon. JBJ link IM link I could use some opinions. I'm torn between the two and I have never owned any tanks from either brand to...

Ok guys, I need some advice again. I have been helping my two boys with a new stand alone frag/reef build over the past several weeks (pic attached). We got a nice deal on a 45 gal RR peninsula tank, set it on top of a DIY stand, added a 20 gallon long sump with a SCA 302 skimmer, and a reef...
