Very Nice. You will never need more frag space.

SmyrnaReefer · Oct 28, 2011

yeah glasscages outlet tank, pretty much what i was looking for, maybe a little bigger than what i wanted but still cool.. friend of mine got a rimless cube 24x24x16. they had some cool stuff in there and the prices cant be beat....

Yeah I need to take a Saturday off to check it out. I've been thinking about down sizing to a nice rimless cube. But keep the 180 for fish that I can't keep with corals like angelfish.

SmyrnaReefer · Oct 28, 2011

they had a few 4side starfire cubes, dont remember sizes

Love these frag tanks! Short and sweet!
I picture shrimp in them though

Abiathar · Oct 29, 2011

That looks nice and will work out well. Would also make a nice shallow/look down display reef.

Nice jay can't wait to see that thing up and running

orthokardia · Oct 29, 2011

you will fill it up! i have noticed coral is like a perfect gas that expands to fill all available space

SmyrnaReefer · Nov 5, 2011

there is water in it!!

TinaFoster · Nov 5, 2011

ahhhh--clear blue excitement!

2 pieces of advice. #1 Plumb it in with your main system if you can. IME frags just don't color up as well without the same water/nutrients etc... as the main tank. Of course I see you have it seperate now but just in case you still can. Of course if you are going to use it for QT also best to keep it seperate but IME corals just don't color up as well in seperate frag tanks (mainly speaking SPS here). #2 Use the same lighting as your main tank, same reason as #1. Frags will take much less time adjusting and changing color under the new lighting and what you get will be much more predictable. Another good idea if you are going to keep it seperate is to put a couple of fish in it assuming you have good filtration. They will help keep what the corals need in the water to keep them colored up better IME.
