So, I haven't seen too many custom drilled frag tanks on here so I decided to do one. Started off with the $1/gallon sale and it ended like this.
This is my custom 20g drilled frag tank with a 10g sump. The Stand and canopy are completely custom built by a local reefer and a good friend. He is an amazing craftsman. He also drilled the tank and has had a lot of experience drilling them.
I plumbed the tank using some flex tubing from Home Depot. I bought a 1000gph overflow box from Ebay.
Equipment list:
-Chinese crap box for lighting
-Spectrapure 90gpd RO/Di with a Dual TDS meter
-Instant Ocean salt
-BRS Refractometer
-Tunze Nano Osmolator
-Temp Alert Thermometer
-Sicce Sincra Silent 358 GPH
-150w Cobalt Neotherm
-Digital timers to control the lights
On the way from my Bulk Reef Supply order today is..
-New sediment filter for the RO/DI
-BRS mini reactor with the Cobalt MJ 1200 pump
-1/2 of BRS ROX 0.8 Carbon
-1oz or coral rx pro
-2 sheets of black egg crate
-1oz bottle of super glue
-Black PVC
-Korallia Nano 565 power head
-8lbs of Caribsea Arm extra coarse media
Plans...
I plan on using the black PVC underneath the egg crate to hold it up. I plan on doing different levels in the tank to cater to the lighting needs of different corals. As far as the 8lbs of Caribsea Arm extra coarse media, I plan on putting that on the bottom of the tank to collect benefical bacteria. I plan on running the reactor with strictly Carbon. No need to run GFO with weekly 5g water changes. Eventually I plan on buying an apex and upgrading to a Mp10QD. Ive used Ecotech on all my other tanks but for now, the Korallia will do just fine.
Livestock..
I'm a huge high end zoa lover. The frag tank will be stocked mostly zoanthids with a couple cool sticks in there.
Stay tuned for updates and my cycle has begun today....
