80 gallon Frag Tank start in CT

[JMetaxas]

Thanks to Facebook Marketplace and Reef2Reef, I cobbled together a complete 80 Gallon Frag system.

Tank: New Deep Blue 16"x24"x48" with Starphire glass upgrade - $325 on Facebook Marketplace
Stand: Free All-Glass butt ugly stand, that was 30" tall and I revamped it to 36" tall and covered it wainscoting. From Reef2Reef about 3 years ago.
Lighting: $150 Aquatic Life 48" T5HO Hybrid - From Facebook Marketplace
LED: 2 Ecotech XR30 Gen 4's - $450 each. From Reef2Reef marketplace.


It's plumbed to my 180 gallon that's only been up 5 months, but has plenty of SPS already, some colonies that will be fragged.

I look forward to playing with this and selling a few to help pay my electric bill and hobby.

Looking good. Wish I had the space to do one frag tank. Had to go with 2 24x24 1 on each side. You'll love it.

Here's a little update. I put all the frags on one 2'x2' piece of egg crate. I can slide it around and clean the bottom easier.
