Glasscages 75 g shallow reef frag tank

[TeddyM]

I picked this up used and will be using it to upgrade from my IM 20 frag tank.

I have cleaned it and made sure it holds water. Today I mocked up the original plumbing so I can decide where to integrate the 25w UV.

I only mocked up the external plumbing and I think I’m going to put the UV on the right side of the back cabinet removing some of the original plumbing to add it in.

UV inlet plumbing done. Now I’m waiting for the 90 fitting to be delivered.

That UV kinda looks overkill for the tank size. I careful as UV kills both good and bad. And mainly good for tanks with tons of fishes.

How’s the sump?!? I would go with biggest you can fit! Just a thought.

It’s a 25w good for up to 130 gallons. The system will be about 100 gallons and the uv will run off its own return pump to regulate flow.
