So you know your a reef junkie when you can build an entire frag tank and sump from parts you already have, including your chocie of three different skimmers and 4 different return pumps... Tank is a standard 20 gallon tank with ten gallon sump. Run by a Mag 3 return pump and a E.T.S.S. sump buddy 40 deluxe rated for 180 gallons Drilled on the side for one return line and two 1" drains Currently it's just holding rock and a few pieces of coral that will be going in my girlfriends tank, it will be used to QT and then to frag my gorgonians that I have gotten myself addicted to for my big pred tank The plumbing is drying so I have the water level low at the moment, and the skimmer in the pic is a reef octopus nano 50 that I am moving to my 6 gallon build once I get the new one finished.
I know the feeling ..... Building double 40s for same reason Main tank really needed room for all the mag float frags
lol iv got a 15 outside im fixing to turn in to a nano and the 100g tank i took out of the living room im going to reseal and turn in to a pred tank im thinking of putting a peace of plexaglass in the back of the 15 and fixing it kind of like a biocube instead of drilling it
I've seen a lot of people using 1/4" acrylic to build internal sumps in the back of tanks lately. The larger biocube was my first tank and was an amazing tank till my fish out grew it so I would go for it!
