Its called a "Low boy" but i forgot the brand 48x24x10... But i think its more like only 8 inches of water though 10 is like to the brim. I drilled it myself just for the overflow, just a 90 degree pvc elbow scro
Ewed into the bulkhead. Drains into its own sump that houses about another 30 gallons a skimmer and some matrix rocks. Then that sump drain through the garage wall, under the stairs and into the main tank sump. Its fed by a fluval sp6 in the dt sump. There is also a return pump plumbed in the frag tank sump and all plumbing is made so i can run it either combined with main system or isolate the frag tank and its own sump to run it seperate. It also has an eb8 out there in The garage, connected to my main system apex so i can control it etc.

So i did actually get around to some testing today...

Suprised when i tested my natrate and it came up completely clear (looking through the side) on salifert kit. Last time i tested was up higher than ever before. Maybe like 25! I guess the bacteria i have been dosing (probio s and dr tims waste away) to try and out compete the dino / cyano stuff really did a number on that!
Likewise po4 was 0.04 compared to over 0.1 last time i tested. These bacteria products sure do something!
Alk was lower than i normally run but that was to be expected as i dont even have my dosing pumps turned on at the moment. Just added a bit of alk buffer by hand to give it a nudge.

Unfortunatly after cleaning out my frag tank yesterday some brown strands are already present again.
