nice job ryan, really sharp looking. I am also curious about the frag holder- great idea!

 

[rcharliesam]

Nice looking tank. And yeah, more info on the frag rack please!

 

[ryangrieder]

Hey thanks every one!

The frag hold is made by a company called thrive. They are an awesome new company who makes chemicals, frag holders, and there own plugs. The one I have is an acrylic pole that holds different lengths of holders. They also make one that's a Christmas tree spiral look that sits on the bottom of the tank.


The light is actually a 141w led fixture. Its a 4 puck with a current USA lunar strip in the middle. 150 bucks new you can get them for. Its 11x10x3 square and the pucks are interchangeable. They are all 3 watt Leds with a 60 degree lens.

Nice! I just rescaped mine, Love this tank.

 

[ryangrieder]

thanks. yes im about to rescape my tank too. im taking the hydor out and putting my mp10 back in so im going to have to redue it all. just not sure what location on the mp10 ill want yet. now that i finally got the skimmer dialed in the tank is doing fantastic. maintance free becides water changes.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

That is awesome!!!

 

[ryangrieder]

heres a link to my light if anyones interested. its simple but i absolutely love it. and for under 200 bucks im more of a fan. you can swap the led pucks out to any puck you want as long as they are 3w leds
