[Sillyfishies]

What size are you looking for?

 

[Macscale]

Something with decent length and width...
Probably no taller then 1'
36-48" long
20" wide

You looking for a custom? If so PicO is great, if not maybe mr aqua has something in that range.

Frag Tank Shopping and Starting Points keeping me busy

If anyone has any tank company recommendations let me know..

too bad your on the opposite coast;

200 gal aquarium quarantine or coral frag grow out complete system

also recently saw someone selling an entire store setup, tanks, filtration system, coral tanks, etc., etc., pretty much everything but the building...LOL
They were asking somewhere around $25K for it, lock, stock and barrel.

if I had the extra $$$.........

 

[Macscale]

Not sure at the moment really...
I'm deciding weather to get bigger tank(s) now and build up stock to make a website and launch like that...
Or just start with a smaller one and sell on forums and grow over time.

Hey PB! It's been a little while!

That's awesome, someone was selling something like that here a few months ago, if only...

40b would be a good start for a frag tank
another thing you could look into is a rubber maid tot I seen many start with these
6 inch tall 3 ft long 22 inch wide and it wont break the bank

I was looking at 40b, but $120 is a little steep for that tank...
I looked into the tubs previously, my problem is Theyre ugly..

Found a great 65g frag tank
48" x 18" x 16"..
It's comes with a stand, 8-bulb t5, sump with baffles, plumbing and drilled overflow.
It's total height is 44" which is perfect for a frag tank..
And the price is only $250...
Deciding if I should or shouldn't.

I would probably add a bulb replacement to that cost if you plan on using the t5s, but sounds like a pretty good deal if you can swing it. You could probably sell an 8 bulb t5 for $100+ by itself.

That's really cheap IMO

 

[Macscale]

It's a great price...
Not sure if I would even keep the T5 or not, it comes with new bulbs unopened in boxes apparently.

I personally would sell the t5s and buy LEDs. A 8 bulb t5 with new bulbs would be worth a bit. Probably would pay for the tank.

I got a 4 globe t5 for my frag tank led are good but iv noticed more growth off the t5s then led

Picked up the 65 today...
Will be working on the plumbing, cleaning and moving tomorrow..
Super excited for this new build!
All in all its in pretty good condition.
A door hinge is broken but that's an easy fix... The T5 shield has a crack in it, but it's made of plastic and the rest is still guarded.

I'm currently figuring out the overflow size.. It's a dual return, jets and nozzles were included, along with bulkheads. The sump/refugium setup is pretty nice. I don't think I'll be running a skimmer on here, but some nice macros down below.

A rimless beauty she is...
A new thread coming soon..

 

[Macscale]

The 55 isn't going anywhere though.
It will still be my DT or maybe a FOWLR if I decide I want some puffers down the road..

Since I may not make it on tomorrow
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE
I hope none of your family members are stuck in the winter storms up in the northeast. Huge amount of flights down to my area have been canceled, enough to be put my city on national news.
Enjoy the day off with family and close friends!
