[Bearfan]

Anyone have a small prop. tank setup? Any pix or info would be helpful, I'm thinking about starting to prop some softies for my LFS.

Lots of info, ideas and pictures in the propagation section over on the garf website.

The section you want is:

I set up a 10 gal nano as a psuedo prop tank. I wouls have rather tird it to my main system but did not have the room or a smalled drilled tank.

I've seen the garf website stuff, actually I am more looking for pictures of people's setups and some ideas on what's worked for different people.

This is probably not what you are looking for but here is my setup.

I have since taken the old PH out and put in a minijet. I added more LR and the power filter has sand, rubble and cheato on the filter compartment. The lights are a DIY PC with 2x32 50/50 bulbs.

The key is shallow for effective lighting. Here is a prop I recently built for someone. 110 Gallons, 3'X4'X12" I have recently added a large overflow and I'll try to get him to send me a pic of it running. He has a single 400W HQI pendant over the center about 3' above.

That's more like it.

I think I'll set up a 10 gal for now and see what's what .
