I added a 10 gallon tank to the frag system strictly for NPS corals. I had all of the equipment already including a small pump, bulkheads, wood for the stand, pvc fittings and 3/4” pipe. Here’s how it turned out. 07e11c7f8644afe8915d7837c07dd791.jpg

The flow rate into the NPS tank from the main system is .25 gallons per minute. A small pump inside of the tank keeps food circulating. The diluted food blend that drains from the NPS tank enters the sump in the skimmer chamber.

Where do you even get NPS corals, even tropical ones?  In years past I remember seeing them occasionally from the major vendors, but all I really know about are some coldwater biotope specific suppliers really, and I don't see as many around otherwise.

I think this carnation was from Aqua SD. About $35.

I’ve recently added a few small frameless tanks, plumbed to the low boy return pump and returning to the sump.

The tanks each have pregnant peppermint shrimp and will be used to attempt raising larva through adult. One of the tanks is also housing an ornery anemone.

Just looked up breeding peppermint shrimp, seems like fun, but not for me!

I’ve moved. Everything was dry for several months and is now up and running. Recent photos can also be seen on the WAMAS Facebook page.

The system consists of several frameless cubes and one low boy tied into a single sump.

In the future I would like to add a Rubbermaid tub for extra water capacity and a display upstairs that is plumbed to the entire system.

This is located in my basement in Lebanon, PA and is very similar to how I had it set up in Glen Burnie.

There are a few pairs of clowns in the system that I will attempt to breed over the next few years.

My corals are all growing out at a friends place and I’m debating what I want to bring back into the frag tank or the display. I’m favoring a FOWLR setup.

The fish are:

Zombies (albino black clowns) (right)
