You mean "ancor" coral! I learn something new every week here at ARC: thanks for the lesson Dave!

Where do you get those things? That big container in the cage?

Craigslist, they are sold as 250/275 gallon totes

Well I'm not a big fan of the egg crate frag rack. The way I designed the pic legs didn't make the system very easy to clean. It also didn't allow very much variance for lighting or flow between coral, nit to mention the little space for powerheads.

So, what did I do?

I got a custom acrylic frag rack built by Chris Goins(DoctorGonzo788) aka the owner of Alien Ocean from the expo. Chris was able to help me build an awesome looking frag rack at a great deal and in almost no time.

If your looking for a frag rack or anything acrylic, give him a call. And tell him I sent you :jk:

The solvent is still curing, but this should be ready to go in tomorrow
