Fantastic Thread. Got several ideas to try!
Here's my Ghetto Frag Rig, that is still growing like urban blight!
A barrel, any way you slice it!
The sump, just to be different
May as well stick a refugium on it, with mangroves
ATO
air lifter in the refugium
go for the gust, ghetto skimmer

LMAO!!! Thats what I was thinking too. However, the pvc skimmer can stay. I'll have to try to make one myself.

The rusty clamp makes it officially ghetto.:uzi:

Love the rusty hose clamp in the sump as well!
Really gets them frags growing!!!
No need to dose iron!
I wish I had taken a picture of an old 29G settup I used to have. Lost a razor blade in the settup process, and it ended up in the sandbed.... Under a pile of rocks....pasted to the glass. By the time I tore it down years later it had totally disintegrated and actually left the glass discolored.
+1 one on Yardboy's settup. WAY too pretty.

IO bucket with John Guest bulkhead and valve hooked by tube up to the float valve. Filled with filtered kalk water for topoff.
Rusty clamp was very temporary early on, since replaced by zip tie, but if it makes it officially ghetto..............
Few items of system I forgot:
250W MH magnetic ballast in a cracker tin
viewing tube out of 4" PVC pipe and acrylic

Would the kalk cause problem to the float valve (cal deposit causing valve not to close completely)?

Of course! That's why it's ghetto.
After several sessions with a piece of wire to clear it, I changed my dosing system to this local lab garage sale peristaltic pump with duel orange juice jugs and baked baking soda additives. Note also the skimmate collection container using another juice jug. Hey, I live in Florida.

My appologies for Photobucket being retarded.
Here are the pics again:
I have done that and for some reason the second half of all my strings dim
and a tip, if you take wire cutters and cut off the end of the light, it will shine straight down better.
