Prop tank build #2

Well after the last catastrophy, i decided to try a different appraoch.  A friend of mine had this tub just laying around and said i could have it, so i cleaned it all up and plumbed it in.  It's not pretty but it does what it needs to do.  It's lit by a 250 watt MH and will hold a ton of frags!  I would like to get some mj 1200's for a little more flow but for now it will work.  I scrounged up soem 3 foot NO light fixtures so i am still able to use the 100 gallon below to grow macro algae.


                                                                             
Here it is with a few frags.

With a propogation tank like that it shouldn't take you long at all to get banned from RC!

Heh no kidding JB, im just hoping to sell some of these frags so i can pay for that ACIII.
I laready have over 40 in it, man that thing is gonna hold like 500 frags, i think i need to ditch the single 250 and get a dual.
Hmm who was it that i was talking to about buying one......i knoe someone had a dual 250 for sale, just cant remember who.

 

Thanks for pointing that out guys, i thought about that before i put em under it. They are just temporary though, i am working on building something that looks a little nicer and won't kill my tank when the next flood happens.

 

This sounds like a ploy to get some free frags outta me.

Matt that would be super sweet!!  I'll get some measurements tomorrow, my only concern is that being its above my main sump if it starts to get moisure on it, it might start dripping rust into it.  I was just gonna build some simple frames with 2 x 4's.

 

Well here's an updated pic, i lost a few frags last week.  I think all the stress of sutting, glueing, being moved, reverse light cycle and different flow was just too much for them.  I plan on ordering a new bulb for the light, or i might just sell it and get a dual 250 watt setup.  Someone said they had one for sale that their dad built but i can't remember who that was.  If you read this let me know, i still want it. /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif  Whatever i decide i really want to get new bulbs, i think some XM 10ks have the highest par ratings so thats a no brainer there.
