Frag Room Build

[zpete3323]

A "few" tanks, lol. What do you have setup for ventilation/humidity in your basement?

Currently the 500g system has its own personal "whole home" dehumidifier.

The additional tanks will have a heat recovery air exchanger system installed once I build the walls and close it off from the rest of the house.

Everyone has heard of light movers to keep from shading coral... I present the frag rack mover

Courtesy of a vectra m1 and dual icecap 2k gyres. Of course once loaded with frags it won't move but I thought the rotisserie style frag mover may be an optional add-on in the future!

Dog tax included

Not too much has happened since the last update. Still working on cleaning and buffing out all the new tanks.

Calcium is giving me a bit of trouble currently (560pts) but all else is sitting well
(1250pts Mag & 8.3 ALK)

The 8x2 low boy frag tank has exploded with growth!

Couple colony close-ups

The first 80gal frag system now has a tray of test dummies. You can see #2 in the background ready to be buffed and plumbed into the first. Needs more light which is in the works but is running smoothly

What kind of nitrates and phosphates are you running on this?

Honestly don't really test anything other than what the trident tests. Try to keep nitrates about 10-20ppm. Only other dosing beyond kalk (recently swapped to red sea alk vs kalk to lower calcium) is iodine. About 10 drops per week (500gal)

2024 update:

Lots has changed and moved around but getting everything situated. More tanks have been added to the mix and of course more coral!

I have added a laser cutter to the arsenal of tools so many new frag racks and doodads have been making their way into the tanks
