Hi everyone, After being a reefer for 3 years, i am finally building my frag tank. Go big doesn't cost a lot more, so it seems to be the bigger system i got the cheaper it is per gallon.
Tank size 90x36x14 around 200 gallon
Sump 72x22x16 around 100 gallon

My husband loves watching what I do with the hobby and didn't have to be talked into letting me fill the breakfast nook and part of the back patio with tanks. Friends have been sending me hook ups whenever they hear about free stuff. Uhaul was getting plenty of business from me for about 3...
Been a lurker for a while, but I'd thought I'd start up a build thread and share what I have going on.
I started reefing with a 12G Fluval Edge about 3 years ago and it took all of about 6 months for me to upgrade to my first "adult" tank. My Red Sea Reefer 250 has been running for exactly 912...
I'm looking to buy some 4-6' long (Acrylic, Glass, Blue) basic frag tanks. If you have anything please let me know. Looking to pick up locally. I am located in MD close to VA, PA, WV and DC and don't mind driving a little.
I have for the sale the following:
Deep Blue 80 Frag Rimless with Eshopps Medium overflow installed in a Peninsula style. < 1yr old. $375*
Trigger Systems Triton 34 Sump. < 1yr old. $350*
* There's pluming in the pics free if you buy both the tank and sump although you'll probably have to...
I’ve been working on a species dedicated tank/frag tank system for a while now and I thought it would be a good time to share it. I have a custom built 50 gallon rimless that I have H. magnifica anemones in plumbed in with a 50 gallon frag tank and 20 gallon sump.
Magnifica anemones have...
Blank Slate by divetoday posted Jun 28, 2018 at 10:56 AMThis is my first-ever tank build thread, but I am setting up a new frag tank and wanted to document the progress. FWIW, I've had lots of FOWLR tanks (since 1976!), but only got into reefing about 6 years ago.
Since then, I've suffered from...
Hey everyone.
Decided to Shift some tension from breeding captive fish to growing frags. Pump a small 24x16x8 frag tank to my display. Would an $80 Hydro Plant 4 bulb t5ho Amazon fixture and 4 ATI bulb work or am I overlooking something obviously?
Besides cooling fans and better reflective...
Comes with a stand but I don’t trust it could hold the tank with water

I don't have enough time to keep up the frag tank anymore, so selling it. Tank was a custom build from Advanced Acrylic. 3/4" thick. Tank dimensions - 60"L x 24"W x 12"H.
Custom stand that was built for the tank. Skinned with reclaimed wood.
Sump is an acrylic by Synergy reef.
Asking $1,200...
Does anyone have any experience with or links to build threads using a tank from Advanced Acrylics? I'm looking at one of their frag tanks, specifically this one in the 24x24x8 configuration.
I'm thinking of expanding my frag tank, however my wife has ruled out anything else in the house. I'm thinking of using one bay of our 3 car garage to install a 5 x 9 grow tent and put the frag tank and accessories inside. I live in Arizona so in the summer I will need to install a small AC...
I see this is a common tank used by many. I am looking to set up the 80g 48x24x16 version. Where do most buy them from? I see Amazon has them, but an odd description is listed so I am not 100% sure on that... but that is cheaper than the other site I saw them on.
Any other options for a cheaper...
Hey everyone,
I am thinking of starting a small frag tank soon and I am asking for some tips.
First off, I am debating whether to buy a 20 gallon long tank or custom build one to be able to hold more coral. What do you guys think?
So far, here is the plan:
20 gallon long tank (or custom built...
Hello Internet,
I'm moving the sump and 40g frag tank for my 120g system (closer to 180g all in with sump and frag tank attached). The DT is plumbed through the wall and I've done the measurements should have no issue with the sump holding the tank and frag water during WC or power outages, was...
Hello fellow reefers!!! (Have I mentioned how much I love this place? You all are amazing! Keep doing you!)
So we all know we start one aquarium and then just need more/bigger after that. Well I have since convinced my boyfriend to all me to setup a frag tank! I am hoping to frag all coral...
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...
It seems that a coral frag tank and a coral/ invert quarantine tank are very similar. There aren't any meds used in a coral/invert QT, so aren't they the same thing? If I'm missing something here, let me know!
I was going to setup a 20g long coral/invert QT and thought I might just keep it...
Thinking of building a glass frag tank to be locat ed in my basement, which stays about 62 in the w8nter and 75 in the summer.
Was considering using low e glass panels to keep heat in.
Has anyone used low e glass for their aquarium? Pros and cons?
I wanted a bigger frag tank since my small one was getting crowded . I researched frag tanks and found a couple of posts on differnt sites about this frag tank called a low boy by zoo med .
I researched and researched and everyone I found a site that sold them had a disclaimer that they do not...
So I decided to join in, never got around to posting my build for my main tank so I will do one for my frag tank. Decided to do this tank separate from my main system. Had a small crash on the main tank so decided this would be a good way to backup some of my pieces and a way to try things...
