Not any harder than other pipes. I know it was fragged multiple times and frags were, I want to say, $10 each. The tank was gorgeous and simple. I'd post in the Wisconsin FVRC club (on here and another popular reef site where the club is more active) to try to track it down with that pic. You might get lucky. Otherwise Aquabucket still hangs around to see what the local reefers are up to and if you PM he might be able to tell you who he's sold to in the past...
