In this video I will be adding a 10 gallon frag tank to the main display tank. I will show you everything i did step by step so you can do this on your own. Adding this frag tank has allowed me to store up to 200 frags without any of them being inside my main display. Please enjoy the video.

Strikers Reefing - 7 years ago

What did you use to hold up/hang the light on?

FishOfHex - 7 years ago

Just a shelf mount and chains

JCS Reefing - 7 years ago

Could you shoot me a link to what lights you use for both display and frag tank?

FishOfHex - 7 years ago

They are sb reef lights

JCS Reefing - 7 years ago

What size drain/return did you use? Also there's no secondary or emergency drain on this in case the main drain clogs?

FishOfHex - 7 years ago

main reef has three drains at 3/4 inch the frag tank has 1 inch drain

Leahy89chris - 7 years ago

Romy de Jesus - 8 years ago

your frag tank water source coming from the refugium under the main display tank and the exit goes where ?

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

A dcs 12000 return pump and then into a manifold that powers my gfo, carbon reactor, biopellets, uv and this tank. After the water drains back into the sump skimmer section to be cleaned before repeating the process.

That's a cool set up bro how much do you sell your drags for

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Between $15-$30

PRFishGirl - 8 years ago

Nice

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thank You

Duke M - 8 years ago

that's what I thought. you use her to clean algae?

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Just make sure you slowly drip acclimate them to salt. If you do it over a few days i have found they do better in the long run.

Duke M - 8 years ago

+FishOfHex thanks I never thought about doing that

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Yea they are great for that.

Duke M - 8 years ago

what kind of fish was that in the frag tank

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

+David Lacey bring them to saltwater over a few days.

David Lacey - 8 years ago

How did you acclimate your Molly? Mine just never last more than 3-4 months in my frag tank

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Molly

Sharbuckles Reef - 8 years ago

Pretty awesome. Was going to set a frag tank up but new puppies empty wallets apparently. Haha

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thank You

Ted R. - 8 years ago

You need magnets to hold your frag racks up. BRS sells some great epoxy covered magnets that work great.

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

I actually built a custom acrylic rack with 112 slots i have yet to show you guys. Video coming soon.

AugyBear - 8 years ago

Love it! Thanks for the clear and thorough video. I'm interested in getting into the reefkeeping hobby (currently tropical freshwater only), and I've been doing all the research I can before I make the investment. What light fixture did you use for this setup?

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Im using the SB Reef light, I also have three of them over the main display. I have a beginner guide series you should check out that might assist you in starting.

Adamsapple - 8 years ago

What did you use for flow in the 10 gallon? Just the return system?

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

MP10

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thanks and yes, i have two more in display

Joe's Reef - 8 years ago

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

walter otiepka - 8 years ago

what kind of fish did you put in the tank

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

I took one of the mollies out of the main display

walter otiepka - 8 years ago

great job just subbed

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thanks for watching

Scott SPS - 8 years ago

nice build. lol i was going to ask how long it would take before you put fish in there and you already did. Is that a saltwater mollie? Do they do a good job with cleanup? USAF Retired.

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thanks and yes that was one of the original mollies i introduced in a previous video. They are great at picking algae if any was to ever sneak up. Mollies are a brackish fish so fresh or salt is fine for them. Thanks for watching

915Mang - 8 years ago

Nice Addition to the main display!

Brian Spence - 8 years ago

Go Army, new I liked you for some reason, Great Vids.... Thanks for your service. HOOAH!

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thank for watching man and you're welcome

Andrew Siver - 8 years ago

Why'd you buy a fish for it

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

I didnt, it was from my main display. I keep fish and cleanup crew in all my frag systems

pelphrey - 8 years ago

Nice addition! Won't take long to fill that tank up!

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Filled it the next day lol

Always Something - 8 years ago

nice video! was that a Chinese light that you programed to the apex?

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Yes here is the video on all that https://youtu.be/aSKDgN-8CkA

Infamous Aquatics - 8 years ago

Nice job man. I might have some plumping questions for you soon. Like, how do you block a predrilled hole in the bottom of a tank?

Infamous Aquatics - 8 years ago

Will do. There will def be a video for it

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Let me know how everything works out

Infamous Aquatics - 8 years ago

I think I am going to try that end cap out. Thanks brother.

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

You could also put a bulkhead in with pvc pipe and have the end capped off to prevent flow that would be the safer thing to do

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

You can use acrylic or glass sheet and silicone it over the holes but i wouldn't mess with that just not worth the risk

AJ Hdz - 8 years ago

Looks great man! Keep up the good work with these vidz!

FishOfHex - 8 years ago

Thanks for watching man
