Thanks Cubeman.

Next is my frag/qt tank setup. I found a little 3g acrylic aquarium kit at the discount store for cheap (due to scratches). Below is Painting the back pannel and drilling for water in and out.

I have the pump and return easily moveable. Either drawing from my main system for frags or if i wanna use as a qt i can just drop pump and return hose into a 5g sump i have. For now i just have it on main system so i can keep frags.

Bulkheads installed

Hooked up

luckily as the frags started arriving so did my new frag light. It is a S2 nano/frag light. Here are a few pics of the light and the frags it is helping to grow:

this lil guy came in looking good but has a bit of algae growing and i couldn't get in there to snip it off so i ended up dipping it in diluted peroxide which seems to slow it down (most went white and died off the next day).

and this Forest fire digi(and a few more) from a good fellow named Mark

and this lovely strawberry shortcake acro from Harry

fuge is filling in quite well with cheato and mangroves are rooting quite well and a few are on the verge of popping out leaves:

moved frags into display and they seem to be doing ok (except the 2 montis. The pink monti is a bit bleached and the pokerstar monti seems to have a bit less polyp extension then when it came). Some pics:

pokerstar (a little sad)

Appears to be Leptoseris. A better pic could confirm.

How do you like that fuge light? Do things seem to be growing ok? I was looking at getting a couple for my fuge.

yes, things are growing quite well... cheato was going crazy before i spread it out. But now it is hard to tell since it just thickened up and covers open area between plants.

Mangroves are moving pretty quick(as far as mangroves go). Should have some leaves on some of the new guys by next week.

You must have a pretty serious fuge if you are thinking of 2 of these (55gallon??).
