    building a frag tank

    Planning on building a frag tank out of plywood. My current plan is to build it 8" to 12" high by 6 feet wide by 6 feet deep. My method of lighting will be using two ballast running T-5's bulbs.

    Now the question is, should I just use a plastic liner or coat the inside with epoxy paint?

    Sounds like a cool project.

    Epoxy paint I've heard works but I would think it would be messy to work with so I would use the plastic liner. Make certain the plastic liner that you get is safe for reef aquarium enviroments which I am thinking that pool liner WOULD NOT be good to use.

    Keep us posted.

    I gave up building this since my buddy gave me a 75gallon tank to use as a frag tank. Stick out tongue

    75g makes a good frag tank. Yes
