Mostly sps, some LPS, softies. But majority SPS. Frag tank size is 36x24x17.
1in return top left and 1.5 drain top right

That footprint is a lot like a deeper (front to back) 40B. I would probably do something like eggcrate 6-7 inches off the bottom, with a 6 inch shelf across the back raised up about 4 more inches.

Great Forum/thread idea @AZMSGT !
I am running out but thought I would drop this one in real quick.

So I gather you have all your frag tanks connected? What happens if one system has a problem? Won’t all get messed up?

I have the current rack 6 inches up. But its not coat to coast. I can make the rack larger. Was giving room for yellow tank and the bristle tooth tang to swim up. But they rarely do when I'm near the tank. Maybe go the whole length and leave room from the front glass to allow fish and snails to get up.

Since I needed a project during quarantine, I decided I'd start a frag tank. I put some of my unused tanks together to built this ~22G Frankentank system over the last 2 months. It's a 14G biocube w/intank filter rack, hooked up to an 8G rimless cube. It has a Tunze ATO, Comline 9001 Skimmer and phosban 150 reactor all hooked up too. While I fully intend to replace all the above with a larger/single tank, I'm pleased with it for now.
