Mr. Microscope's Roughneck Frag Tub

[Mr. Microscope]

I ordered a Mr. Aqua 25 gallon cube along with a 7 gallon cube for the sump/fuge last night!

Now I have to order some LED parts, and tank drilling stuff. Going DIY on pretty much the whole setup.

[Sir Patrick]

Looking forward to watching the frag display grow, as well as the new DIY tank build!

[Mr. Microscope]

Here's a quick update on my frag tube. Hopefully, it won't be up too much longer. Everything will be moved into the cube when it's ready. As you may have seen, I finished building the light for my cube and now have that above my tub.





Here's that clam. Looking happy as always!


These Organisms have two babies. Soon there will be 4!


The LPS is spreading nicely.


The Yuma has put out several new babies. All others about the same.

Well thanks to this thread, I now want a rubber-made frag tank. How is the tub itself holding up? And were did you get the light for your AC70 fuge?

[Mr. Microscope]

There is one part of the tub that is making me a little nervous. It might be because I moved tue AC70 to a curved part where it doesn't fit as nicely. Other than that I haven't had any problems. Maybe the clear ones aren't as strong as the opaque.

I got the fuge light from InTank. I strongly recommend both getting one and getting it from InTank. It's growing my chaeto like mad, doesn't flood the room with light, and InTank has awesome customer service. The bulb burnt out after just a month and InTank sent me a replacement bulb with no questions asked.

I've been fattening up my Hawaiian Ding Dangs with Oyster Feast lately. Today, I got one to take a whole Mysis Shrimp! LOL! Nom, Nom, Nom...



This pic was taken near the end, but it was stretched out like three times larger when it first started eating it.

Nice pic.

For being so small..they sure can be pigs...lol.

[Mr. Microscope]

Here's a little update on my frag tub. Still going strong. I'm getting lots growth on just about everything. I picked up a monti cap about mid December. Everything from the area where it folds is new growth.


This favia recently took off like mad. If you look back at the first page you'll see what I mean.


I got this acro a few months ago. It started out as a kinda faded blue, then developed all sorts of green and the polyps turned green, and recently has begun to show pink. It's really one of my favorite pieces. Chime in if anyone knows what it's called.


RDE's and other stuff!



Here's an update on my Organism Palys. They'd been sitting around for months with only two polyps. Then, all of the sudden, they took off and now how seven! This seriously happened in just two months. They seemed to pop up all at once. Now, I'm seeing a few more starting to bud. So excited for this frag!


Here they are under RB, B, and TV LED's:


Clam is growing FAST! Also, I think the blue color around the edges is getting more intense.


Finally, I found these morphs with some additional yellow on one of my RDE frags. Probably, just from lack of light (the colony was super dense before I fragged it) and it might go away as it grows, but here's hoping it doesn't!

That is awesome, I want to do something similar
