So just picked up this setup from a club member and after a little elbow grease and a quick diy stand rebuild I have my first frag tank up and running. Need to build the arm to hang the light on and want to drill the back chamber to have the return and drain plumbed. Will tweak the sump too but for short money this gets me going.

Looking good! I will need to swing by soon to check it out!
 
Nice! Love the conduit, have you thought about routing the power wires through it?
 
It's only 1/2" emt so would be a pia to get a whole in the center to come out of it. Maybe down the road I'll do 3/4 and put a center whole and grommet in and then Custom make a cord.
 
Will be making much nicer frag racks tomorrow, but to get moving i used the one that was with it.
 
Less than a month in and we went from sad tank (wha whaa whaaaa) to this! Apparently 30ga wasn't enough lol!

So apparently the formula for how many corals to own is n+1 :P
 
Looking good! If you want another frag tank give me a call!
