SchnitzelReefs AA Frag Tank

SchnitzelReef · 05/09/2013, 07:27 PM

How's it going everybody. I don't post on here too often, but I thought I would share my new frag tank. This is my second frag tank this month. Lol. I bought a 24"x24"x12" AIO from advance acrylics, but then decided I wanted to change the dimensions.

My new tank is 30"x20"x12" with a built in corner overflow. It's made out of 3/4" acrylic. I also had john build me a 24"x16"x16" sump. The sump wasnt exactly what I wanted, but john gave me a smoking deal, and made it out of 1/2" acrylic. I had john add a 7" sock holder, so that way I didn't have to have 2 different size socks. (I already have like 50-7" socks from my 180g)

Equipment:
I'm using the Reef Breeders value fixture. I had planned on building a DIY led light, but after I planned it out I realized it would have cost me more $ to DIY. That was a no brainer

Pump is an Eheim compact 1000. I originally was using a Mag 2 (250gph), but it was too loud. This pump is silent and pushes out more flow than the mag 2.
For now I'm using a koralia 1400. Eventually I'm gunna get the WP25.

For right now I'm just running a filter sock, DSB, mangroves, and a carbon filter.

As for fish, right now I have 2 clowns and a powder blue. Eventually I will probably get a melanurus wrasse and maybe a tiny yellow tang. ( The clowns are for sale, and I want to put the powder in my 180)

Also thought I would share that the light is hanging on a wooden shelf bracket I found at lowes. It's in their closet section, and it's espresso so it matches the stand. Inside the wood is a metal support that is bolted to the wall. I think I paid $15. Thought it looked nicer then the reg metal brackets that most people use.

This is my original 24x24 AIO tank

I will also be adding a DJ strip and clean up those wires down below.

Looking good, now all you have to do is add some more frags. I thought that you were from So Cal because of the Advance Acrylic tanks he makes some really nice stuff I see his stuff at the frag's shows all of the time.
