Anyone Using Pentair Fiberglass troughs?
(http://pentairaes.com/fiberglass-troughs.html)
Seems their 120 gallon model would be ideal for a frag growout system for the $300 cost... 12 inches deep, 24 inches wide and 8 foot long, seems like a good size for lighting and stands should be easy to construct, just wish they were white. Anyone using these (or other fiberglass) troughs? Thanks! |

I have one, but have not set it up as a frag tank. I used it as a holding tank during my tank swap and it worked great.

Oh, did you drill any holes/use any bulkheads?

The previous owner did. It has some that are not placed where I would want them. I plan to fiberglass over the ones I do not want. The bulkheads held water just fine when it was full.

Pentair Trough
Any update on this? Thinking of getting one. Does the $300 include shipping?
