Keith's Frag Tank / Coral Propagation Tank Build

[Keithhjs]

Glad to see the big mrc chugging along.., what did you use for pumps?

The skimmer runs on a Reeflo Hammerhead. The main system I had a Doplhin class 3 one third hp but it leaked brand new! Dolphin sent me a loaner one hp (way to big, loud, & hot) while I returned mine for repairs but apparently it was lost on shipment. Now a claim had to be filed & my size pumps are still on backorder.

Update on the 180. Stand finished. Also aquascape not done, the rocks are just set in temporarily for now.

So I take it that the mrc will be skimming every tank in the loop as we talked about a few posts ago except for the 180 and frag tank ?

Yea, so far it's skimming 5 fish tanks & 2 coral tanks. The other 2 large frag tanks & the 180 have their own systems & skimmers. I will be adding more tanks to the loop the mrc is on later though

Keith you should do an Australian themed tank and have a mini barrier reef set up as a display

Partially aquascaped

It's not the cheapest but they are nice pieces:

Thanks, guys. Trying to decide if I'm going to try adding a Purple Tang with it.
