Frag tank top down design help
I am in the planning stages of makeing a frag tank. I want something that is very shallow like about 8" 10" of water. Does anyone have any ideas or sites i could look at. This will be it owns system and will not be tied into my other tank. Any insight would be great.
If anyone has a tank like this that they would like to share pictures of that would be great too. Thanks Keith |

Tyson on this board has a really shallow frag tank. Maybe PM him?
Or you can give me a shout when you're free.

this one is 36x20x14 and is lit with one 250W Sfiligoi pendant. It grows lps like a hotdamn. I also have a 48x24x14 lit with a single 400W Sfiligoi pendant. That one was supposed to be a sps frag tank, but its evolved into a shallow reef.
If you were going to have MH with an 8" tall tank you would have to keep your lights pretty high. sorry the glass is dirty, I just got done playing in it. I love it.. its like a tidal pool I can play in and not get wet up to my armpits |

I have the tank plumbed to a sump that has one chamber full of live rock and another chamber full of cheato. IMO you gotta have live rock. I wouldnt even try to run that tank stocked as full as it is without a wack of liverock. I run a remora skimmer. LPS dont like their water too clean.. so it works good enough. The fish that are in there all have their jobs. A pair of mandarines keep the pods in check.. a LM blennie to eat algae and a little yellow tang to keep the corals weeded. The tang gets sold every 4 months or so as they grow and is replaced with a little one. |

Do you keep anything else in there? any cuc?
Any pics of the sps frag tank? Thanks for posting the pictures it gives me some ideas. I am thinking about one 36" x 24"-30" x 8"-12" it will be lite by either a 250 watt halide or a 6 bulb tek unit. Haven't decide that yet. Keith Quote:
