WTB frag tank setup

[davester1]

I am looking to put together a small frag tank.

30"w x apx 12"h x apx 12"d

Preferably new or slightly used acryllic.
I was going to use T5's for lighting.

If anyone has something similar for sale, or knows a good place to purchase, let me know.

Thanks,

that's a 20L tank. buy one for 20 or 30 bucks. I would recommend a 30 breeder if you had the extra space, but a 20L would work good too. go as big as you can, because in about a month you'll want even bigger. lol

and actually now that I think of it...I have a tank I'm selling. it's about 18 gallons. 30x12x12, but it's a hex. built in overflow, has all the bulkheads for a closed loop. acrylic, with a black acrylic canopy.
$50
if you're interested I could dig up some pics. let me know.

Exactly, I was going to mention a 30L Breeder. I think that would be perfect for what your looking for.

I have a 20L for sale..20 bucks and it's yours. Let me know. I can bring it to Davie if you let me know w/in the next two hours

i would be interested in the dimensions of the hex.

does anyone know who may have a 30L acrylic?

it's 30x12x12...but the front panel is only 18 inches. if you take the 2 front corners and cut a 6" x 6" triangle out of it that's what you'll get. canopy has about 3 inches of space under it. I was using 4 t5 bulbs in it. love the tank, but I went a little bigger.

You would most likely have to have a 30L acrylic tank made custom, as stores around here don't carry much acrylic tanks and if they do, there either really small or really big.

You can get the 30g breeders at big als... for like 54.99 - they are glass.

I am currently setting up a system for two, had Manny from MDS make me two holes and a overflow box for each one, came out great. Can't wait to get them running.

ZURCSREEF,

can you send me a pic? May i ask what your total cost after the mods were done? I would love to get manny's contact info.

why cant you buy those thick plastic troths like coral reef farm uses. they sell them in smaller sizes not like there is alot of pressure for the height your using
