Frag station build

[sandman12]

my 29g bio cube display was getting way too crowded so I decided I needed to set-up a frag tank. I wanted the same condtions as my display for easy frag moving.

This mean's tying in the prop tank with the display. Display can't be drilled or have a HOB oveflow. SO, I got a 15g aga drilled (from greg, thanks!) and built a stand to put it higher than my display tank so it would drain into the display.

The prop tank has the same lighting as my display, a 70w MH minus the actinic PC (maybe later). Anyways here are some pics.

Tool's used (most of them)

Still going at 9

Glueing and brading the side's

Ended up making my overflow out of 1/2" starboard I had laying around.

Water test

Fragging station part of the stand, mounted a small flourescent light up top.

Finally the tank filled with water and frags!

James it looks great!

You are welcome, that tank was just laing around waiting for some one to put it to a good use.

When are you going to come over and spray my stand?

Nice. I like how you can grab a frag then sit and get right to fragging. I have a table about 8 feet from my prop tank and hate running back and forth between the two.
