Will's 40g frag tank (New lights on the 80g!!! Post 85)

I don't know if that Dan hold you ten.

Do you plan on skinning it?

 

Yes. Going to skin it for sure.

Maybe misunderstanding, you don't think it can hold the 10g?
I think it needs a lot more bracing if that's what your saying.

 

Here is an idea put four 20g longs on the stand and plumb them together, then you can have a frag system.

 

cool, the set up makes sense then, thanks!

 

That would be cool... Financially all I can do right now is work with the 20g. I know it's not the nicest setup but I think it will turn out pretty cool when I get everything together.

No problem.

So I started to paint what I had with the stand while I still had it all opened up and before I closed off the sides and front making it harder to access the inside.
I know it not that nice yet but for my documentation purposes here's a photo.

 

This is what I got accomplished today.

 

I also got started on the fuge and the sump tonight.
I am going to do half the fuge with lr and the other half with macro algea.
The sump is going to be a 3 chamber sump. First is the drain that will house a filter sock and the second will be the skimmer section, 3 baffles and then the return section. I have to put one more baffle in the sump and it will be complete.
I also want to paint the trim on the 20g sump/ tank. It's brown and will look out of place (at least to me it will).
Things are coming along nicely. I am happy with the progress and hoping to have this up and going soon.

 

I like it Will! The raised sides definitely helped

 

Thanks Marshall! appreciate it man! I thought it gave it a nice touch.

 

Sump and fuge done.
