    Well just kinda thinking out loud and this prob won't happen for awhile but...

    What do you guys/girls think about a 10 gal frag tank?
    Like I said not doing it now I made a frag rack for my 65 hex but just thinking.

    As some of you may know I recently tore down my 10gal freshwater tank so I already have the tank itself.

    Im thinking of upgrading the lights on my hex to t5 so I would have the light since it adjustable and my hex is only 24" wide. so 130w of pc over a 10 gal haha prob wouldn't even have to make a egg crate thing.

    basically I would just have to get

    thinking a cheap aquatraders oddysea hob refugium/skimmer thing. prob run carbon in that aswell

    maybe a k evo 1050

    some sand and a pump for the hob refuge

    I would also do weekly wcs

    so yeah how does that sound?

    like I said prob won't happen soon maybee the end of summer or something
