Lowboy Frag tank

[Dipan Desai]

After much thought I decided to plumb a 50g Low boy to my 187g Peninsula. Tank will be loaded with mostly higher end SPS.

For plumbing im keeping it super simple with 1/2in push connect return and a 1in overflow. For flow im still undecided but thinking a gyre

For lighting im thinking a 48in Reef Breeders Photon V2+

Live stock: Sixline wrasse, yellow eye kole tang, and 2 dragonface pipefish.

The scariest part was drilling this thing as I have never drilled a tank before. After doing it I feel pretty good and wasn't as hard as I expected.

Nice, what color stain or paint is that? Look really good

Its Varathane Carbon Grey from Home Depot

Super easy to use just make sure you wipe it on and wipe it off. If you leave it on it just looks dark. Also used a old tshirt to rub it on and off seem to work best.

Getting a little closer. Just waiting for 1 more bulk head for the return to come hopefully by Wed and it should be up and running.

And were up and running. Now I just need more coral and a bigger and better light.
