going to build a frag tank on a budget of $300
looks like no one sells frags in leduc so i thought i should lol

it going to be 24L-24W-8H with a 15 gal sump
got some glass from ken at blue world thanks ken !
still need to get a sheet of glass for the bottom ?
might have a skimmer lined up from Mrfish55
still looking for a pump and some lighting
want to purchase everthing used !

if any one has any tips on frag tanks that would be great

What are you looking for in the way of lighting, I have 175w and 250w MH ballasts as well as a 2x55w pc retrofit unit.

i think just a really good t5 unit would work its only 8" deep so it should work
