my 3g has become too overcrowded with frags, so heres the plan
i found a ad today with some new 10g's for cheap. if i dont get a reply by tomorrow morning, im just going to go to petsmart and grab 2 10g. one for a sump, one for the main frag tank
if the guy im good friends with is at the reef store i go to tomorrow, i'll drop it off with him and get him to drill it and reef ready it so i dont have to deal with the bulk of a overflow. he usually gives me 20%-25% off of everything
after, i'll build the sump. just 1 baffle split halfways. one half for the intake, one for the return. the rest of the sump will have aragonite, a bit of live rock rubble, and some hermits, snails, and crabs.
once i get the main tank back, just get some eggcrate as a shelf, PVC as legs, silicone it down, and voila. instant frag tank. i have pretty much everything but the tanks right now. the return from the sump will be enough flow, lighting ive got a 24" hagen glo 2x24w T5 i can hang over it, and thats pretty much it
