Great tank, love the smoked acrylic front. Gave me some inspiration for my new build.

How high are you running that ATI fixture? What's the distance to the top of the water line?

I answered that like 3 post up.

Other news, I'm cleaning up the frag tank and getting it ready for a reseal. Also, the tank came with a single drain with no overflow, I'm considering drilling it and adding two drains. Something similar to the glass holes overflow. The 1" drain would be converted over to a 3/4" return and then down to dual 1/2" outputs via locline.

Me and nitro'sreef worked on his sump yesterday. While we were working on it, I decided to drill holes into the frag tank.

 

[ReeferEric]

Lots of updates!

I've been running an algae scrubber on my frag tank for sometime now, I'll be incorporating this into my new set up as well. It's really doing an excellent job at removing nutrients in the water. Pictures are about 1 week apart from each other.

This is how clean it is when I clean it off.
