Scopus' 1st Humble Attempt at a Frag Tank

[scopus tang]

Converted a 20gal high reef (didn't have much in it) to a frag tank. Two 24 inch double bulb t5 lights (one with actinics/one with 10,000K). Running Two Koria #2, a Mag 350, and a redsea Prizm Skimmer. Few pics for your viewing pleasure.

Eggcrate top was a pain in my rear! But it did come out nice, and it is keeping the tank cooler.
Few pics of some of the frags
Orange Ricordia;

Multi-colored Ricordia Rock

More Ricordia

Ricorida and some zoas

Nightmare palys

And finally a few zoa frags

Yep; saw the Aiptasia after I took the pics (actually have about six I have to SEEK AND DESTROY

). When I looked again, Niger I think your right, probably a xenia colony rather than a clove.

Well, since I'm just getting it started, not for a little while at least, need to let things grow out and recover from fraggings. Also not allowed to sell on this forum.

Not yet, but soon perhaps - very soon, but not here - not interested in violating the rules.

[renogaw]

very nice setup

 

[renogaw]

btw. for faster growth you may want to change that 10k bulb out for something lower in kelvin.

 

[snakeblitz33]

Lower in Kelvin? Why lower? Just wondering.

 

[str8salt]

Hey Tim, I'm available today if you want to hook up sometime - don't know why we're not pilgramidging today? Maybe we can get something going later this afternoon - just a thought (give me a call).
