Rosko's frag tank build

that mp40 is sorta low, I suppose it's just that way to keep salt off the bottom? :)

Yeah it's an mp10, just trying to dissolve the salt I tossed in... And my other mp10 is still being used on other tank. I will raise once everything is dissolved.
 
Finally was able to get lights up. Still need to do rockscape on half which will hold my 6 nems until I get other tank up... And other half will be partitioned off for frags...

Oh and don't mind temp frag racks. Ordering new ones this week...
 
so youre gonna have a wrasse and anthias in your frag tank? That means you have to use covers for them. They are notorious for jumping out, especially in a shallow tank. Any ideas on what type of cover you'll be using that can keep your frags well lit? I'm thinking of putting fish in my grow out tank as well, but also kinda want to keep the top open for optimum coral lighting.
 
Looking real good!!! Im starting to get teased with all these frag tanks builds :( Might have to smooth talk someone to get one :D
 
Looks good,i like that sunburst,they are shy at first be very personable when acclimated well. Nice build.


What leds did you have that your acans were losing color? I had a fruit salad acan colony that was brown forever untill i put my leds over the tank,now it's getting all it's colors back.

Only keeping wrasse permanently. The anthias and helfrichi I have in there are going in DT. I have a cover on it now. Screen... The one being sold on here ..

Thanks, yeah anthias is hiding under frag rack. Well it was all last night.. Was using my Ai sols. They didn't lose a lot... But they did lose some... They were only at 45% too..
 
Very nice. I love the Fathead, this one is on my list:) where did you get him from?

Yeah gonna pair with a borb and hopefully they get along. Got him from Mario at Aquatica. He's very shy, he was out but when he saw me this morning he hid again. =(
 
little update... my sunburst didn't make it past 2nd day. It really didn't want to eat or come out.... tested water everything fine... helfrichi and mystery wrasse are fine as well... It was not the greatest eater when I picked him up from Aquatica, but I really liked him and I was assured it was eating during normal feedings. They actually held him for almost 2 weeks... but when the 2 times they fed him in front of me... he really didn't go crazy... just ate a piece or two.. was told they are shy, so I thought ok.... now I am out $70.... I am going to try and talk to them, but we'll see... they have no guarantee on fish.. So from now on.... only DD or places with 14 day guarantee. I actually have a nice delivery tomorrow... and just got back from picking up a "couple" things.... long drive to almost detroit.... Can anyone say "Cherry"?!?!?


heres a sneak peak..
