45 Frag Tank

[jmaiello04]

Here are some pics of the finished frag tank. It is 45 gallons, and the dimensions are 48" L, 18"W, and 12" H. I have a sump which holds about 15 gallons of water. I just put water in it last night, and I am cycling it with some live rock. I am not sure if I am going to keep it as a bare bottom. Any thoughts? I also intend to build a rack system using black eggcrete.

I would keep it bare bottom. Easy to clean and the sand doesn't take away from the corals. so when is this frag swap happening? Haha

Looking good!! Bare bottom is the way to go IMO. Definately easier to keep clean.

Sweet, was that a special order tank?

Adam - No, the tank wasn't special order. I picked it up at Caribbean Forest in Rochester. I think the manufacturer was ?Blue Reef? or something like that.

I'm going to keep it bare bottom for now.

I would like to host a frag swap in a couple of months, perhaps in June.

Other than ordering it from Bulk Reef Supply, does anyone know where I can get black eggcrete? I've only come across white in local hardware stores.
