New Project
Okay, so me and a buddy was going to design a little ten gallon channel styled frag tank to mount just above my sump in the rear. Water in one side, out the other. Simple T5 two bulb set up just over the flowing water with the frags just under. We were thinking about 24"L x 6"W x 6"H.
Then I ended up with a gorgeous 75 gallon tank, stand and canopy in my garage. What to do, what to do, ooh, I got it.
I'm gonna set that guy up next to my existing system, tie it into the system Ping-Styled and make that my frag tank.
What I would need,
Lights ~ not sure if I want T-5 on this one or try MH. I'd like to keep my heat down, and since it's a frag tank I could experiment more with a variety of lights if I went T5... hmmmm
Pump ~ thinking of rotating the water volume six to seven times an hour. Trying to figure out where I want to pull the water from, the sump area after the macro. This way in case something goes wrong I only dump a few gallons of water on the floor as I dry up my sump.
The only other thing I would need is some scrap acrylic and a plethora acrylic rods. I want to try that method that was in the free reefer magazine a few months ago. Nothing with a rouch surface to hold onto detritus and algae.
I was also thinking that I'd want a tiered rack style set up like the one's I've seen in PA a few months ago.
Oh, and I'd probably need more power....
