I just finished building my 3rd new rimless frag tank! They are the same dimensions as my frag tanks that I built about 4 years ago that most of you have probably seen. But I'm going to do the overflow and plumbing quite different and I added an mp10 instead of the koralia nanos on the new frag tanks. I can't wait to get these up and running. They are going to be so much nicer then the tanks I have been using even though they are pretty similar to my old ones. I'll update with some pics soon.

Got the stand finished and painted today. All except for the front door which I think I'm waiting to add later.

And here is how the new frag tank and overflow turned out with the plumbing. I haven't added my gurgle busters yet but I'm going to add those tomorrow and put the tank on the stand and it should be running tomorrow!

Looks sweet Chad, What LEDs are going over these guys now? the new mazarra?

I haven't decided on lighting yet. I kinda like the new ecotech Radion LEDs. They seem to light quite a bit more area but at double the wattage they better light more area! But i can also get the mazzara fixtures cheaper then i can get the radions so I dont know yet.

But here are some updated pics of the plumbing in my overflow and the tank on the stand (still no door yet). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out now if I just about 19 more of this same setup then I would be content for a minute!
