DIY Plywood Tank, Sump, Frag Tank.......

[ravi197699]

Thanks for your kind comments Vio and Yes Alex it is definitely not a bank breaker, actually I went this route because of the cost of the upgrade. I could not find glass tank cheaper than 2500 - 3000k. My tank, 2 sumps, algae scrubber, frag tank and material coast me around 1500 tops that is including mess up's lol. I am happy with the results..

can you get a picture of the frag tanks and sumps filled up!? waiting on those pictures as well. good job so far ravi.! cant wait to see your tank filled with nice colorful fish.

Thanks Rob, Here are the pictures of the back side of the my fish room. Today's new addition - I have added closed loop pump as shown in the picture that is tied to my water heater tank and it will take hot water from the tank and run it though titanium coil and go back in the water heater. This will save me to have electric heater in the tank. Please find pictures of my saltwater mixing and top off water barrel. Both are 55 gal tanks. Both sumps and frag tank are plumbed to the same system and same goes for algae scrubber as well.

Ravi ,, how are u..? u would of saved alot of fittings and time if u used flex PVC

 

[ravi197699]

I am good buddy, I know and Lowes near me don't carry flex 3/4" size and I did not want to drive any further so I had to deal with these fittings. It was not easy for sure...

Hey Rob, Tank is still running, I had issue with ick and it wiped out live stock, only left with tang and chromis. But tank was without fish and rock for 6 weeks and went through freshwater wash. Now I am ready to introduce new fish, Planning on adding quarantine tank, but no room, i have to move few things around to make room. But tank is doing fine no issues so far...

 

[Rob&Gab]

Awesome.! Hope you and the family had a great Christmas.!
