Ive been wanting to set up a frag tank for quite awhile now. Having done some research, it really looks like the zoo med lowboy tanks are going to be my best bet.
I am trying to keep this as low cost as possible, and the cheaper I can keep it, the more frags I can buy
I can pick up a used zoomed 28 gallon from a friend for like 40.00.
I have a noopsyche k7 v3 pro with mounting arm already.
When it comes to filtration, I see three possibilities:
1. Drill it and add a sump. (ive never drilled a tank, and I dont trust myself to do it)
2. Either buy a drop in, or build my own baffles, to convert the tank into an AIO
3. Stick a HOB Power filter on it. Im thinking the likes of a Seachem Tidal Power Filter 55 or Aquatop Forza PFE-4 Power Filter
I have used HOB filters on freshwater tanks for years, but never in saltwater. Will those units work well enough? I only plan to have a shallow sand bed, a rock or two, and a small fish if necessary. So the bio load will be very small. I can supplement the flow with a powerhead.
Any one have thoughts on using one of those filters?
