Show Off your prop System!

[Vert20]

Thanx Joekr, that is built with square tube frame and legs, very sturdy. I had it full (freshwater) while testing it, the liner bellows a bit from the water but still very sturdy.

I got two of them on close out from Aquatic-EcoSystems last year at 70.00 a piece. They were regularly 160 or something like that. Should have picked up more cause now I cannot find them. At 16" deep they are great frag tanks in them selves and very easy to light and plumb. It has a drain that a 3/4 bulkhead fits real snug.

Thanks for the post Chris ........I got lots of Idears

Hehe No problem.

I see your an E-towner too! Might I know you in person or on any other forums?

joekr, how do you like the 50 gallon rubbermaid? I'm thinking about getting one and my only concern is only being able to look down from the top.

[joekr]

I like the container a lot, mainly because of the durability, the depth and the price. The things I don't care for are the view from the top and the need to plumb the skimmer elsewhere.

For the price though, I don't think it can be beat (unless you can get a portable koi pond for 70 bucks, then grab the koi pond like vert20 has )

Lets see some more prop tanks/setups/systems!

coraldynamics, (vert20) did you buy your website off ebay? I thought it saw it on there, but maybe not?

I bought the company (which included the website) off ebay. I had been a long time customer of Rick's (previous owner) and had been in negotiations with him prior to it going up on eaby. We worked out a deal for all the livestock and parent colonies and he shipped them all to me here in Charlotte. The equipment and stuff I had already or purchased to house the livestock.

Thanx for asking!

We now return this thread to its original content.

70g plumbed into my main system. 2- 250w DE Phoenix 14ks.

[FishFreak20]

Wow, thats a lot of frags/colonies

[rs2208]

I drilled holes in the pvc legs and zip tied them to the egg crate. It is kind of sketchy, but does the job.

[psycho_clown]

rs2208 that looks great

[Funky_Fish14]

HOLY thats alot of frags!

Nice 'rack'! Haha.

Chris

[rs2208]

Thanks. Sorry, that pic was with XM 10k's. The 14k's are ran on ARO electronic ballast. I don't have any close ups at the moment, but am planning on cleaning the tank and taking some more shots soon. I think I have around 120 frags that are over 1". Most are sps and zoos - nothing real exotic or rare.

[rs2208]

No actinics - that's why I switched to the 14ks. It was a little too yellow for me. I run the lights from 9 pm to 4 am = 7 hrs.

[Funky_Fish14]

So reverse cycle. Smart.

Come on people more prop-tank pics!

Very nice setup and tank!

[headonkey]

Couple of questions. How much flow are you guys pumping through these tanks? I'm thinking about running a closed loop on a 20 long with a Mag 5 (too much?). If the tank is not plumbed into a system, what do you need to add for filtration?
