Our mission

el diablosrt-8 frag tank

its my new toy for zoa breeding.... i will slowly be building this 4x2x12" frag tank for this purpose only. this is plumbed back into my main display tank. i will be uplighting this tank with ATI bulbs and 8 bulb tek fixture. here are a few preshots, not 100% setup still messing with plumbing to get more flow from return and drain equally.


update bulb chosen

4X ati blue plus
3X ati blue aqua special
1X purple plus

2X koralia #3
1X Koralia #2

temp kept by reefangel

this tank is plumbed into my display and im keeping ph and 3 temp probes, 1-display 2- frag 3- ambient.

more coming real soon.....
 
Zoa breeding? do tell, or do you mean fragging/propping? When I hear breeding I think of sexual reproduction rather then asexual.
 
Nice setup and can accommodates lots of zoas, palys & other frags. Soon you'll have a kalidescope of zoa colors. 8 bulbs does seem like a lot for zoas, and no LEDs?
 
thanks guys after my return pump issues today i will do videod and photos tomorrow and update the build properly...

im thinking of making this a combined thread and just do both tanks as one system....
 
post 1 updated............

here are some new pictures, i must admit i am getting good growth out of the tank already. two weeks or so and i am very pleased next up is new return pump skimmer and sump( jose bluevoodoo helped me build my sump)
