Grow out tank

Kullas · 07-18-2006, 10:26 PM

I have a tank that is 24'' x 15'' x 12''. I am wanting to make a grow out tank for frags. It is drilled in the upper corners on the back side. Would it be better to run it to a sump or do a closed loop system with a HOB filter? Any comments on how others has theres would be great.

if possible i say drill a bit more on it and do the CLS and add a small sump

Nice fixture if you have a method to hang it. I liked the other style because it clamped onto the tank. I did change the bulk to a 10K though.

I built the stand well its realy a work bench. So adding a 2x4 or 2 on the back want be to bad.
