If so, I'd like to see pictures of how you have it set up. Eggcrate, lighting, etc.

Thanks.

I am getting stuff together to start a frag tank in 50 gallon rubbermaid stock tank. It isn't my sump though, just an independent system. But with that said I am interested in seeing some pictures as well. :)

Anyone actually end up doing this? I wanted to see some pictures...especially if they had a few rubbermade tanks hooked together like that.

I will be growing soon I hope. I will just have one tank though - I don't have room for more. I just dumped some 80#'s of Marco Rocks of the nano and rubble in my 50 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank. It is all still dry at the moment but I hope to get some water in it very soon to get cycled. Then I can move the contents of my 20 long frag tank over to the stock tank. :) I still have to buy the light setup - and I think that's it. I am planning on using a full size DE lumenarc reflector with an icecap ballast and XM 10k 250w DE lamp. Once I outgrow the light spread I am going to put it on a light mover. That's about it :D

I will have mine set up soon. I cut and installed the eggcrate. I received my Lumenarc reflector yesterday. Now I just have to find time to wire up and hang the reflector and I'll be up and running.
