Hey guys i'm looking for an all in one frag tank. A 2x2x1 flat would be nice or a nano or biocube maybe. I have lots of high end coral selection for straight trade or maybe trade and cash. Let me know what you have.

You can get a mortar mixing tub at Home Depot for $13, they are 36"x24"x7.8" and there is a smaller one for $5.75 that is 27.5"x19.7"x5.9". They are made out of pvc and are very easy to plumb...I made a 1" pvc rack over mine that held the lights. With eggcrate you are probably out the door for $25+/-.

Mine was years ago, but I will be setting one up in the near future. This is close to the setup I used to run, only difference is that this is a 50g Rubbermaid stock tank. But you can easily cut these or the HD ones so they take HOB skimmers. Then I made a frame over the tank out of 1" pvc that held the lighting.

This will give you some idea about the type of pvc structure I mean for hanging the lights. I had mine mounted to the edge of the frag tank so it wouldn't move. Then you can size the frame as needed for your application.

I think i'm leaning towards a nuvo, nano, or biocube.
