I have a 30 gal, that is fed by a mag 7, and I have some starboard about 8 - 10 inches from the top held up with some pvc, I also have a mj 1200 for flow. I am using a 36 inch t5 tek light with 6 39 watt 10k bulbs.

In the bottom is my fuge which should hold all sorts of critters for food.

This used to be my fuge that was lit by a costco 65 watt floodlight.

I already have about 10 frags in there already, I am also running a reverse photoperiod.

I am pretty happy about this for my tank is soooo overgrown.... And I need a convenient place to put frags every time I break something when I stick my hand in.

What ya all think?

I also made the overflow from acrylic, I cut the teeth with my table saw. Happy to report the frags are doing well... Will take pics when I have the time.

Sorry camera battery died.. Here is an update...

Caulerpa took off... started overgrowing the frag area a bit...

All frags are still doing great.. some nice overgrowth on the plugs now.

The t5's changed my colors a bit... the purple slimer is still purple but the base got a little lighter... My bright blue stag is a little brighter blue.. Yellow milles still yellow, green mille turned a little brown...

My pink birdsnest is now pink, yellow and green, instead of all pink... Wierd.

I have 6 t5's with 5 aquablue's and 1 6500k. as compared to 4 20k helios 250 mh with supplemental sunlight..

I am a true believer in 6500k supplementation now!

Seriously I'll get to the pictures... You have to understand that the frag/fuge has a tek t5 setup on top, while the whole thing is encased in a cabinet..

So it is a little hard to get in there to take pictures...

Frags are doing great... only problem soo far is the damn algae is growing through the eggcrate, so prunings are becoming a PIA.

I hate the chaeto for it doesnt break as easy as the caulerpa, but the caulerpa grows faster....

The colors with the t5's are a little dimmer... 250 MH + sunlight definitly has more bright color. Sorry T5 only guys...

A green mille turned green brown. But the blues and purples and pinks have stayed bright!

It seems you never win sometimes :)
