So just picked up this setup from a club member and after a little elbow grease and a quick diy stand rebuild I have my first frag tank up and running. Need to build the arm to hang the light on and want to drill the back chamber to have the return and drain plumbed. Will tweak the sump too but for short money this gets me going.

Nice! Love the conduit, have you thought about routing the power wires through it?

It's only 1/2" emt so would be a pia to get a whole in the center to come out of it. Maybe down the road I'll do 3/4 and put a center whole and grommet in and then Custom make a cord.

So apparently the formula for how many corals to own is n+1 :p
