Sweet looking frag tank! I really like how you set up your frag rack

Thanks colin I think it might to go a little higher but we will test it out and see where my par readings are and adjust as Ness.

Lighting complete, I have actinic bulbs in to see how bright it was but I will be using 12k bulbs I think will be a little more crisp white.

Looking good. I would get it started by using the water from your main tank the next time you do a water change.

I planned on using 10 gallons from my main tank and 10 gallons of new then adding a bottle of bio spira

That should work. Also leave a cup of sand from the main tank at the corner of the new frag tank to help speed up the cycling process.

Thanks dragonvale, the tank that will be on top is my wife's freshwater tank. The frag tank will be in the middle

Quick observation. You have more vertical supports going in?

 

[ReeferItIs2]

I love it when freshwater and saltwater are in the same equation...

Yes I do, my father in law and I cut all the boards for this structure I put it together. So that we could get the measurements for the other supports. Once done it will be able to hold an actual army tank. Lol

Got my white bulbs today I am gonna give these wave points a try I got 4 for 39 dollars off amazon so I wanted to try them out I have off brand actinic bulbs on my main tank now and they work great so I though these should work. But I'll check the par numbers. Did we get the meter yet so I can break it in.

The PAR meter is IN!

I've been so busy, I haven't had time to take it out of the box. Looks like you will be the first to get it wet!

When do you want it?
