NEXT PROJECT (Why Waste Good Water, Play Area, and Backup Frags in Future)
I wasn't planning on this, even though I tried something similar with my 2 Spare 10 Gallon Tanks.
I got this idea for setting up a Frag tank when since I'm doing two Auto Water changes a week (2.5 Gallon).
This is pretty good water, with ideal parameters, and has some nutrients.
Why waste the water down the drain.
I was thinking of using it for other LPS tank since it's way dirtier, and much higher N&P, but I hate to cross contaminated tanks. (ie spread Cyano to a perfectly running tank, etc)
So I have this work table that I got during Universtity from Someone's throw out. It's served me well for many dozens of projects.
THE AUTO WATER CHANGER, DUMP bin is right next to it.
So I could automate the Water change directly into the Frag tank.
IT WILL BE IDEAL for a shallow Frag Tank. Not too big (1/2 the space), but enough for 30+ Frag, nicely spread out.
TOTALLY ISOLATED (Stand Alone)
I have that old Magentic 2x150W MH fixture, and I kept my MH Bulbs when I replaced them each year.
Bulbs will be good enough for a Frag tank. Would only run 1 bulb, and if OLD Ballast goes, I have the 2nd as a backup.
I'll be able to measure the PARS properly since MH.
Slight offsets in Frag placements for Lower Pars, Higher just centered above.
I have my old return pumps when I went DC returns.
THIS IS GOOD for "IF" I succeed in the SPS colonies to have a isolated backup of all my SPS.
Basically I have everything except a FRAG TANK.
May use bins, or acrylic, or whatever I can hack together.
** THIS PROJECT will "Keep my iching Tinkering Hands Away" from the SPS tank (Which is in NO CHANGE LOCKDOWN) **
