Zoanthid frag tank up and running

[flricordia]

Got my frag tank going. Just finished moving the last of the zoanthids in. Looks like it will work out better than I thought. Will be getting some more plugs next week. Didn't realize that the eggcrate can hold so many.
Also heading to the hardware shop this weekend for the neo magnets and plasti-dip. I will fix them into the crate so I can add small shelves and attatch to the sides of the tank and shift around for access to lower racks.
Ran a 1/2 perforated PVC pipe along the bottom back so it keeps the bottom debris blown to the front. This way I can syphon off about a qt each day and replace with new salt make-up water.
Tank is drilled and flows to 10gl fuge with LR and cheato.
Oh, and tank is a 20 long with 4x24wt T5

Correct. Are they not zoanthids? Kidding. There are a few odd balls in there. I got them from Grouper in a trade. He is one of the best traders I have delt with. Always very generous. No matter what I send, it seems I am always beholden to him.

YEs, if any get sent to me this is where they will go.
earnit33-the chrome eggcrate would probably be OK used out of the water, but I notice the chrome (paint?) can flake off, at least the stuff I had sitting around some time back and was curious about using.
I am pretty sure I have seen a post about this and most recommended agaist using it submerged.

Sorry, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Wow, beautiful pictures! You did an amazing job with the frag tank!

I think I am going to get 2 koralias 3s for flow. Maybe 2-2s. Any suggestions for a 20long? RIght now I have an AC 70 on the back, the fuge/sump return is a Maxijet 1200 a distance of 2.5 feet, ball-valved back and a rio 600 directed across the top.
