How do you plan to cool the tank water when the outdoor temp gets above 100?? Love to check out your system when you are done.

Are you and Dave growing the frags from same colonies? Will be intresting to see which one grows fater and more colorful.

I don't know if it will get to 100deg, but if it does Robert has a 1 1/2hp chiller

Are you and Dave growing the frags from same colonies?

Yes, some of the corals are in both of our tanks, on Dave's they are growing arms on the back of their heads

Love to check out your system when you are done.

I am in Rancho Cucamonga.
We are planning in do a tank tour soon!!

Carlos (Pucci? I assume ;) ) ,

Nice frag . Dave's frag is growing like crazy because he is putting lots of love in to his tank everyday. That may also explain the funny growth ;) ;).

Love to check out your tank, and that monster car in the garage. Looks like a 67-69 Camaro on steroids? How can I get a ticket to ride that monster?

[Blackcap]

Anything is possible!!!
I'll see you Saturday.

Carlos, you Dave and Jeff are maniacs!
Any chance of an update on this project? Would love to see if it has evolved anymore than the last post. I realize it has been a while but I decided that this thread would help many people that are possibly thinking of utilizing a garage sump/frag system.

With all the surface area in the prop tanks, you can probably do most of your cooling with evaporation. Some tropical foliage and a three-toed sloth, the garage will be a rain forest.
