Picked up some radion g4 from @reefkeeper2 and with @Chris A. Help this morning, the frag tank has light again. Now time to start filling it up again.

Added 8 new t5 bulbs today and also a power filter , it's almost as if there isn't any water in there because of clarity.

now I only need about 50 more acros.
 
Doing some tank maintenance today, syphoned out detritus, running a power filter to help polish the water, cleaning lights and power heads. Thought the tank was looking crisp and wanted to share.

You don’t keep the Torches anymore?
 
Mangrove in the overflow? Great idea!

And that plate coral looks like it’s literally on fire! Is it that yellow in real life? Looking sharp
 
Thought I'd create an actual build thread. This has been an ongoing love affair for some time now and will continue to a be a slow process for me. I acquired a Deep Blue Rimless Frag tank from @Sean B a while back and the process has begun. Obligatory pic with my daughter cheesing for the camera.

Went to Lowes and bought some 2x4's and some Rustoleum black paint.

That’s a nice frag tank. The manufacturer should’ve never closed down because those Frag tanks. so to me are the best because they low and easy to maintain and they look awesome

Looking great Paul, everything looks so colorful and healthy
Wow! Tank looks great


Thanks to you both. Things seem to be getting better. Had to adjust the CaRX and dose some po4 the past couple of days as the system seems to be burning through both.

My latest ATI testing came back with high copper and iodine, kind of weird but whatever. Literally haven't done anything different and inspected all pumps/wavemakers, heater and probes.
 
Proud of this bad boy growing into a nice piece roughly 6"x6" at this point in time, even sitting in close to 450ish PAR currently.
