frag tank

[SS7]

I need to set up a frag tank for some stuff coming in. Does anyone have a 40br or something similar they aren't using they can sell?

Thanks in advance,
Sam

What do you have coming in?

 

[SS7]

i'm ordering some LPS, and they don't thrive in my sps system.. in fact, they do quite poor.

I'm also battling bubble algae and don't want to infect new arrivals

 

[vetdog]

do you have any emerald crabs?

 

[SS7]

yep, 6..

I'm moving to a blacksburg apt in 8 months and need a smaller tank. I figured rather than battle the algae and win just before I go, I'll set up another and hack off my corals when I move and put them in a system already established.

 

[vetdog]

where are you moving in Bburg

 

[SS7]

Not sure which apt complex.. maybe a town home; near campus. I'll be going to school there fall 09.

I have a brand new 30 or29 w/ stand, sump and skimmer if intrested

I have a 70 long with wooden stand, just needs new cabinet doors and it would make a good frag tank.

I'm really looking for something a little more cube shaped. I'm going to have a lot of corals in here, and want to be able to light with a single MH. A 40 br, 24x24, 30x30 or something of the like is what I'm searching for. I have some stuff I wanted to isolate coming in wednesday.. may or may not be able to find something.

I have a 20 long (or maybe it's a 15) if that would help you for a while til you find what you need.

Get one of the shallow rubbermaid container like the kind that slide under a bed. Then drill bulkheads on each side with an unturned 90 for drainage. These make excellent frag tanks, because they are cheap, the right shape, and readily available. Also because they are only like 5 inches deep its easy to get a good current flow through them and the pressure of the water isn't enough to deform them.
