12G shallow frag tank

[JReefaddict]

hey guys I just set up a 12g frag tank and I'd like to share with you. My plans with this one are a lot of rare acans with that rack on the left for frags I'm growing out or something I've got forsale. I will most likely get a fancier rack in the future but at the moment it gets the job done. I have 5 lbs of LR in the middle chamber in the back and I have a skimmer and power head in the mail for it.

Looking forward to seeing this come together!

It should come together pretty nice. I love the idea of viewing corals from top down so my goal with this setup is enough flow to keep everything happy but keep with top of the water fairly smooth

Nice setup,I like how you have located the system next to a window.You should be able to take some nice photos with the natural lighting.Thanks for sharing!

I'm not sure how much sun I'll be able to let in through the window but I'll definitely try it. Opening the blinds may help with pictures with the blues on to help from getting that over saturated look

That would be helpful,different times of the day may also create some nice effects.

Here it is after I added LR to the back chamber and the skimmer and I put a couple pieces of rock in the back. I'm not sure what I'm gonna put on those yet. I've got a few zoas in it now for a couple weeks. I'm hoping to keep a lot of acans in the center down on the bottom
