Frag tank build

[Jmcdaniel0]

Ok so, do to my recent coral crisis, I had to expedite my frag tank build. I did not have time to set up my tune nana osmolater... So I got it started up on a temporary basis.

Here she is set up.

After I started filling her up, I didn't like the way some things were setup so I moved some stuff around


Here she is filled up with my LEDs on. I have a 4 bulb T5 fixture, but my new ATI bulbs are not here yet. So I'll have to use what I have for now.

Here is my tunze. I need an aerospace engineering degree to hook this sucker up.

Well, the frogspawn that started this crazy thing, has died, every bit of flesh it had is gone. It took less that a day from start to finish. I really hate that that happened, because it was easily one of my favorite pieces I had picked up. What makes it worse is that it was my fault. It won't happen again. I have all of my frag tank that tests, salinity, 1.025, ph 8.3, nitrites 0, Ammonia 0, and nitrates less than 5 ppm. It wasn't completely yellow for zero, but it really wasn't orange for the next range. So it is somewhere i between. My alk, calc, and mag tests arrive tomorrow, so I'll get those test done.

Unwrapping new equipment is better than Christmas

It can be a frustrating hobby at times but each little step leads to a better understanding for the next opportunity. Sorry I couldn't provide more help but I've seen your situation first-hand before and it never ends well.

It stinks for sure Dave, but life goes on. Setbacks in this hobby happen pretty often. On a better note, atleast I had this awesome tank to set up. Btw, I love this frag tank. I'm glad everyone talked me out of buying one of the others.
Rob.D. You should seriously pick one up....mince you can't rely on your friends for one...lol

Hahahaha......you're going to fit in well around here!!!!

I hope so! But on a serious note. That little tank is quite pretty. Once I get it fully set up, and in a location that is not on the dinner table, it will be real nice. My wife was actually quite understanding about it. I mean we never use it anyhow.
