There is a picture of our DIY frag shelf plans for our 29 gallon setup.

Materials
12 pvc elbows
A 26" by 6" peice of Eggcrate
A 26" by 6" peice of glass(frosted so algea build up isn't quite as visible and rounded corners so I don't get cutt up)
108" of pvc pipe, 1/2 inch

I am considering drilling the tank for a sump/fuge. I got this idea from my lfs, thats how the tanks are setup, except with all glass and no eggcrate. I am using the eggcrate for frag plugs and will put those on the upper shelf closer to the light. My original light in the tank was a retrofit PC setup and the ballest burnt out on it. I am planning on getting a new ballest and running two< T5s on it. I should be getting a a new heater for the RSM this week. I'm considering purchasing two titanium heaters for it instead to help prevent any accidents. The new light for the 29g should be fixed up in the next few weeks and the frag shelf should be finished within the next few weeks(not sure if I'll have the glass by then) I'm also getting a DIY denitrator for the RSM, a friend is making me it, this shall allow me to add lots of fishies if i can keep up the feeding .Once I have the light and shelf for my 29g I'm planning on moving all the rock out and putting it into the RSM and then the fun begins .

Pictures will be posted as we progress!
