A once hidin frag tank has been resurrected ! Update Sept 8 / 2011
 
So I got this nice shallow frag tank from a fellow reef head..........HI DEZ :wave: & had it setup for a short period when one morning I went out to the shop to find that it had cracked due to my negligence of now putting any foam under it.

I finally got around to fixing it, cut it all apart, cleaned it up, replaced the broken piece of glass, re- built it with black silicone & black acrylic for a new OF with a Durso.

Here are a few quick pics, mind the mess behind it is a workshop after all.

So..... how many tanks are you up to now? Do we need to have a reef addiction intervention? :mrgreen: Looking forward to seeing this one develop as well!

Nice work on that tank! Looks good with the black back and OF.

Thanks Dez, I have some frags coming from whatcaneyedo but still want to stop by and grab some from you and check out that new long frag tank.

You're one of them guys whose hobby is just building tanks I think :)

At 10:41pm when you made your last post the frags from me should have long arrived already. If everything went alright they should have been at the Red Deer station at 10-11:00am Wednesday. I hope you're not waiting for them to call you... they will wait days before they'll do that.

looks awesome Greg. Can;t wait to see until you fill it up

Frags didn't arrive until 7:30ish today & got a call from my gal at the terminal right away. Was out working in town then so I am running to get them right now.

So I now need to know how high should I put the light fixture above the tank. 12" of water, light is a dual 250w MH with PC & moon lights.

Wow you're sure you can't get away with a pair of 150w? Seems like a ton of light to me to begin with. My guess would be to hang'em high =)
