Gimmito's 60 gal frag tank

e128d301844c40edbbe89f56d6d9ab71




I bought this truvu prop tank off a fellow reefer who just had no room for it. It's still in the original plastic and measures 4' x 2' x 12". I have a tunze 9075 laying around and I was thinking of hooking up (2) 6055 nano streams to it. I'm also thinking of a ati bubble master160 for the skimmer. Lighting is something I'm open to...maybe a sunlight dual 150 mh w/ dual 54 watt T5's ? I'm thinking of making a sump/fuge out of a 40 gal breeder or buying a one. I have a eheim 1260 laying around for the return.

Let me know what you guys think !
 
Looks good. I think you'll be more than fine with that skimmer too if anything it might overskim the tank unless you feed the corals heavily (which isn't necessarily a bad thing :D).

See Jim's (Bookfish) thread on the way he farms, he's got a really neat method for growing corals out.
 
Update:

I bought a used H&S A100/F2000 skimmer from a hobbyist who is down sizing.
I also bought another vortech mp40 gen2 pump to go with my other mp40.
I have a buddy in the business who has a slew of tanks in his backyard. He said he has a few 20 longs and maybe some 40 breeders for the sump/fuge.
Anybody know if Kinetic sold his aquatinic pendant ? I think that might work out well for the ft.

I'll post some pic's when I get the stuff.

Mike,

I just read Jim's thread and I must say I was very impressed.
I'm thinking of implementing that in my frag tank.

Thanks,

Jim

Could you ask your friend if he has couple 40 Breeders and how much?

Thx
 
Xcaret,

I did'nt see any 40 breeders when I went, but he might have one in his storage. I saw some tanks w/stands in various sizes and some euroreef skimmers in different sizes. Shoot him an e-mail www.fishdoctor@us.com.

Phong,

He has one, but he's using it as his display at the moment.
You can contact him at www.fishdoctor.us if you need anything else.

It's nice to see that the guys at ecotech marine are continually improving their products. The new wet seal looks solid and I can't wait to sync & upgrade the firmware on my other mp40.

Now if I can only find a deal on a 48" MH/T5 fixture.
 
Hey guys I'm intrigued by this fixture for the frag tank:

Aquatic Life 48" HID/T5/LED fixture
-- with controller

What do you guys think ?
