New Frag Tank!

[Justin]

Stats:
Tank: Custom 26"Lx20"Wx12H" drilled on side (weird placement) [used tank]
Stand: DIY stand built with a buddy of mine AKA Critmin (I hope it stands)
Light: 2 x GHETTO DESKTOP LIGHTING (until I can afford metal halides)
Skimmer: Euro-reef on main system.
Return and flow: Mag 9.5 connected to a garden hose! (Will be a Mag 9.5 connected to two squids later on). Will be running 4 x Critmin pump underneath to keep detritus suspended.
Misc: Tank is plumbed to my 180 gallon main which houses 10000000 stalks of pom pom xenia. Metal halides will be installed as soon as I find a good deal. If you think reefers are poor... I'm a 17 year high school student with NO JOB so I have to wait for the best deals around and trade my xenias! Red sea pom pom (white and pink, short stalk, fast pulsers) $5/head and cheaper if you buy one of my big rocks (30-60 heads). Willing to take trades just as well.

Main tank:

Lots of xenia huh? Anybody interested in some, feel free to ask.

Frag tank:

Honestly like how much more ghetto can you get? Haha I have a garden hose and desk lights.

Let me know what you guys think.

[EyeReef]

[Justin]

Which is why I need to sell more xenia so I can buy my MH's and some nice PVC returns on my squid! Hahaha

I think we met at the last frag swap in North Hollywood...anyway, I am actually looking to buy some Xenias from you...hit me up and maybe I can get some from you this weekend.

 

[Justin]

I IMed you bro. Are you talking about the swap at aquarium works?

 

[mangus7175]

Yep at Aquarium Works...I was going to buy some but brought a credit card instead of cash . I'm on IM now...

Here are some minor updates.

I got my shipment in from Dr.Fosters and Smith and recieved most of all my plumbing. The mag drive 9.5 is now plumbed via 3/4ths hose tubing to a T, which both go into separate SCWDS. So there are 4 return lines, 2 SCWDS.

Here are some pictures:

Also added a korlia 4; a little over kill but we'll see after I get some more corals and get my rack set up.

I STILL NEED TO GET MY LIGHTS. ANYBODY WHO HAS ANY TYPE OF 250W MH SET UP FOR SALE OR FOR TRADE, LMK PLEASE! I also have lots of xenia for trade as most of you know.

My set up is almost done!

 

[EyeReef]

once the lights on there..its going to look real nice

For some reason, ONE of the loclines has lots of microbubbles coming out of it. ONLY ONE. Even the other line of the SCWD has no micro bubbles, ONLY ONE locline. Isn't that weird? What is going on?
