Got my frag tank build going. Built an algae turf scrubber for my sump, just needed a little adhesive action for some simple applications. Turns out the super glue gel works very nicely followed by some silicone. So I have my stand done, built and hob overflow from old stuff laying around, had a 20g sump I gave away and took back, got an old mag 5 for a return, just need a few lights and finish the plumbing and this baby will be in action. Here's the best part:
frag tank-traded corals for it 24x24x8
stand-made of 2x4's from HD $10
hob overflow-made from old stuff laying around-basically free
sump-20g with built in algae turf scrubber-free
return-mag 5(had an old one laying around)
misc plumbing-$10
ATO-will be a gravity fed line attached to a float.
Just need some lights and I will be done.
Total investment so far $20. Lights will probably run me a bit. Also need a heater. Very excited to get this baby going.

I got my weld on at Fort Collins Plastics. They also have an awesome scrap area. What are you building?
For my media reactor I used weldon 4 and then went over that with weldon 16 because I'm paranoid.
