I just read through 15 pages of this thread, Holy cow there are some sick prop systems out there.

Here is a pic of my 16 x 16 x 16 frag tank, which is looped off my 125g display. It is lit with an Ushio 10000k fired by a 250w Icecap ballast...

tangwang,
i like your idea. i would like to plan something similar.
 
Nope, not really any major heat issues. I run a small 3in fan on the left side, if you look closely in pic 3 you can just barely see it. I also run a Lasko task fan over the refugium on really hot days.
 
How many of you with systems in your basement with open top tanks or tubs have humidity problems?
My system was just over 80 gal all together with all open top tanks and i had a big problem with humidity in my basement. What have you done to help prevent this..other then covering all tanks
 
I built a fish room, installed a bathroom exhaust fan and blow the fish room air outside. Evap is a bit faster then normal, but it sure beats the humidity! I have about 300 gals down there. thinking about adding another fan or just replacing the exisitng one with something more powerful. I havent decided how to configure it yet. I will either set it to come one every hour for 10 minutes or just come on when the lights are on. Currently its on 24/7

Here's my new frag tank in the works. A friend of mine and a owner or heartland custom aquatics here in Oklahoma built this for me. I haven't even got it from him yet, but thought I would share.

It's 30x24x12.

I will have a single 20k AB Ocean Light over it. For return Will be a blueline pump to two penductors for extra flow. I didn't want to have powerheads etc in the tank and wanted to have it clean behind the tank so...

Anyways here is a pic.

Reeftoker... How do you have the return line set up... number of outlets etc?

I have 4 tanks 72 x 12 x 12 and I've never really been happy with the results.

Hi guys! I don't want to hijack the thread, but I am attempting a small scale prop/ grow out tank. Standard 29gal w/ stand (already have, not in use), and a 150W Oceanlight w/ Phoenix 14k. I would like to utilize the stair step eggcrate shelves(3 or 4 levels). What should I use for filtration as the tank is not drilled. I have thought of using 25-30lbs. of LR and maybe the Tunze Nano Reef pack. Any other ideas out there? Shoot some of them my way!

BTW- I have spent the last couple of hours going through this thread, nice tank systems everyone!

Just start a new thread? There are not that many new threads in this forum at any given time. I am sure some one will see it... then you don't have to be sorry about hijacking a great thread ;p
