    Well it should take much. What is that, 10" or 12" deep?

    Mike I'm curious, how do you plan on setting it to be a frag tank with more of a reef style?

    It's only about 8" deep.

    You'll just have to wait and see.

    This one is going to MACNA at the end of the month for display, so I'm nixing the modern frag tank idea in favor of something a little bit more interesting.

    If you're going to be in town for MACNA this year, be sure to stop by the Blue Life booth to check it out along with my collection of chalice coral.

    I made some major headway tonight. So far I've got the tank in place, rock and sand in, light hung and all equipment ready. Tomorrow I'll have the water in and shortly thereafter, some mature rock from my other system.
