Hey everyone,
I bought a used 80 gallon low boy last night, turning it into a frag tank. I welcome suggestions and feedback to getting this thing going!! Had a minor set back on the ride home.. door flew off the tank stand and snapped in half. I didnt figure this out until I got home to unload the darn thing. Guess I will have to build or buy a new one. Got the tank all nice and clean though!
I am attaching pictures of the tank with the simple plumbing that came with it. Mind you, I am by no means an expert to plumbing so open to suggestions
with that said, the second picture is of my 30 gallon sump.. which chambers should I use for skimmer, refugium, and return?!? I plan on using a aqua mars 165w for fuge light. Seen a guy doing so with the light intensity on full blast. He couldnt stop the chaeto from growing! Last note before I end this for today, I just purchased my first radion xr30w pro, gotta find a good deal on the second one and I will be all set.
Let me know what you guys thing , and i look foward to some good advice
