new frag tank, pics inside

[zapata41]

ok well just finished building that darn thing and only thing i can say is whew !!! no leaks.

i built the tank from 1/4" cast acylic, used a 3" euro bracing. tank size is 4'x3'x1'
lighting is by one 400w SE 20K XM for 3.5hrs a day and natural sunlight
flow is by 50% mak4 return pump, 2 mj1200 maxi streams.
over flow is a coast to coast style.
light rack is fully adjustable, legs were made so i can raise or lower the light by a foot by simply unscrewing a thumb screw, raising the leg, and screwing the screw back in. works great
ok well here are the pics.

Nice set up. I really like your egg crate shelves :)

very nice!

[zapata41]

yeah i tried to make the shelves sized just right so i could move the frags from noe rack to another in order to take that rack out and clean it. only problem is that the racks get blown all around from the flow
