  3. What to do... what to do???

    Hi all,
    Recently came into a standard 29G and cherry stand. Older tank that I sealant stripped (only the inside) then resealed and water tight tested. Always kinda wanted a QT... and always kinda wanted a frag tank.

    The DT is 75G w/35G fuge. What is the consensus... set it up as a frag and plumb it to the DT fuge... plumb it to its own fuge... say a 10G long... or set it up independant as a QT? Other ideas?

    Come on gangsters... weigh in on this for me! ...

With plenty of tanks to maintain and set up between customers and my store, my personal tank was, sadly, not on the top of my priorities. But its not all bad, ...
