10G QT tank for coral frags

andrewkw · Nov 4, 2018

I never use anything for the bottom just glass. This is my main reef taken on Friday.

New tank in progress. This did have sand in it but I've removed it recently there is still a little that will come out with detritus removal.

Our old 75 bare bottom

I have had my 66 gallon SCA barebottom for 4 years. In that time it has been moved twice so the rocks are a little different that they used to be. All rock came from my 180 when it was broken down. There are two very huge pieces that you can see in the first photos. Lights started temporarily as a pair of cheap black boxes then to a reef radiance 30" then to a radion and now a pair of Hydra 26hd. They are by far my favorite but the reef Radiance was not bad.
Bare glass bottom but the rocks are on 3/8 acrylic sheet.

Very nice. Very nice indeed. It's like a collisseum of coral.

I'm pretty sure the @WWC display should be in this thread...

A slightly older picture but here is my recently converted BB.......currently in the process of hiding/removing the eggcrate.

This was yesterday - about 5 min after pulling all the sand out. Going to pick up some pvc sheet from Home Depot this weekend, and get to routing.

Will post pics once complete.
