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?

str8clownr - Thanks! I replied to your pm.

shuskins - Thanks!!! I'll try to get some pics of it today for you.

KMP - I'm using two MJ Eco-mods. One on the front left and another on the back right.

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!!!

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

Thanks Todd. I am putting my all into this one. I want it to grow out into a really nice tank.
