Frag tank Build
I have been pushed into the frag farming business by an associate of mine that needs a fragger.
I have a few salt water tanks around the basement but nothing to do the scale of a "production" tank
Well as has it i spent a ton on mother colonys of coral and even more on glue and plugs and decided to make it work with old equipment that i have around the fish room
Granted i have a 12x12 room with 6 shelves that go around 3 walls of it chock full of equipment so this will not be a huge stretch to accomplish
Pictures will come as i have just got done pressure washing the tank

If he needs a fragger, there's a guy on a different forum named frags-n-more. http://www.fragsandmore.com/home

ok so it ended up getting late last night till i got everything scrubbed sealed and ready to go dimensions are 48"x12"x12" and should hold over 1k frags when its all said and done
here is the tank ready to come back inside last night
Still not happy with the shelf but will work that out today since im not tired
Also have to connect everything with egg crate and get rid of my pipe spacers
The lighting is 10,000k/actinic @130 watts on the right side and 50/50 daylight/actinic @120 watts on the left.

Hmmm..
Looks like you may have a future customer to buy your frags for my future SW tank.
Of course that won't happen for awhile though.
Looking for Duncans, zoas (wild colors of course), hammers/torch/frogspawn, etc...

lol we got 20 rocks that are in MA being sent over on Monday
mainly wild zoas and palys one nice golden hammer for the first round of fragging
keep in mind ANY coral we get in will have $5.00 frags available no matter if its a zoa or a acan!

seems this project has taken a more serious turn as i am building a sump today for it
the sump will house the skimmer, the live rock, an algae turf scrubber, kaldness reactors, and more then likely a few drops of my blood!

Good luck with this. With $5 frags, I fear you may become a victim of your own success. On the other hand, i'm thinking of setting up a 12 gallon cube just to try you out.
