what do you have going for flow in your frag tank? a mj mod at the bottom left pushing the wave on the right top?

I love the look of a rimless tank.
Good work.

Also, how to do you have that frag tank plumbed? And I forget if it was mentioned in earlier pages(read it a few days ago) but what is the height on that frag tank?

KMP - Yup. The back left gets a pretty good wave as well. Glad I could help.
Napoli - Thanks!!! Shuskins - The frag tank is 10" high. There is 1" pvc that goes across and into the back of the main tank's stand then into the sump. I have an eheim compact pump as a return for it. It pushes about 255GPH. I didn't want a lot of flow going through the drain. |

Luckybaker4 - Sorry I missed your question. I didn't build the stand so I don't know much about how it was done and what was used. I had a friend of mine in my local club do it for me. I have a few pics of it while it was being assembled.
Shuskins - I'll get some for ya tomorrow. |

Congratulations! Great tank, great stand, great photos!
Your frag tank is outstanding... I have an Elos, and I must say that you have done a superb job! |

Hey great looking Elos-like setup!
I was referred to this thread and would like to ask what the stand is made out of. Did you use veneer over ugly plywood? It looks like a true ElOs stand. Keep up the good workk |

Shuskins - Thanks!! I am using a Nikon D200 and w/ a sigma 105mm 2.8 macro lens Ken - I appreciate the compliment. Thanks a lot!!! Here are a couple more pics from yesterday. Purple Monster Unknown |

Very cool canopy, Chris--I think it makes it all look more Elos than an Elos...! Great aesthetics with your stand...
