Heres mine last month. Frags are off the sandbed finally! Need that magnetic shelf rock to grow some coraline!

Once upon a time i had a 40g.

Great, now I have to go back and read this whole thread!!

2 month FTS

loving this thread..... just finished transfering my fish and some zoas..... rest of the coral to move in the coming week (or 2)

Found my old pic from June '09 in this thread.



Here it is a couple weeks ago...

Here is the beginning of my 40b.





I'm using a 36" Current USA Outer Orbit 2x150W HQI-MH w/ 4x39W T5 HO and am looking for bulb suggestions.

^ clean and simple, very nice

constantne- thanks for the scape compliment, but yours is one of the best ive seen on here, dont think mine quite compares.

Soon to be finished 40 breeder

Everything on that tank is custom by me
Just thought I'd share here for fun

Hello everyone, hope I have some pretty warm welcomes here to the 40b club! I will be moving livestock over, possibly over the weekend. Depends on how everything pans out in the new tank. I want to make sure temps are stable, salinity is good etc etc. My livestock that will be coming over is as follows

1 medium Maroon Clownfish
1 4 stripe damsel (acquired did no want.. but do watcha do to get free corals)
1 watchman goby
1 pistol shrimp
1 firefish

assorted CuC from Johny +1

I would like to add another fish or 2 or 3.. Not real sure on the selections yet. I love the 6 line wrasse and they are aggressive enough to hang out with my mates. I've debated introducing another maroon to see if they will make buddies.. But the damsel and clown appear to be best buddies now terrorizing the entire tank together.

My powerheads I have are..
1 Maxijet 1200
1 Koralia nano 425
& filter AC50

moving ~ 900 gph. I think this should be sufficient but will soon find out when the livestock is moved.

My lighting, I Scored a free 2x65w Power compact fixture, I think I will keep my 24" T5HO over top in combination with the PC fixture.

Sorry for the long winded post..

here she is cycling with just the pc

Trogdor, be careful with the sixline wrasses. People have mixed reviews. I had a sixline and a fourline wrasse and both became aggresive. Really nice fish just wish they werent such a PIA.

Quick video of my tank (cant seem to embed the video)

thats beautiful! I feel so bare trying to get it all setup from my 20g over to this.. slowly though, I am not rushing anything at all!! Fortunately the trip is only 7miles and the water remains pretty stable for the critters.

Here is how mine sits...

Gabe, your tank looks AMAZING!

My new 40 breeder. 24 CREE LEDs, MP10, some clams, and hundreds of Palythoas and Zoanthids. I moved my stock from a 20 long.

40 breeder resent removal of sand bed

Crappy cell phone pic:

an entire thread devoted to 40 Breeders.... nice.

you'll have to check my sig and follow the link to my build. I can't post the pics right now...damn cell phone, DAMN YOU SPRINT!!!!!

Was looking for a DIY stand for a breeder....Can't remember who's thread it was on. Didn't find it here. Any more breeders out there?

Nice. What kind of light is that?

Finally i can join the 40g breeder club.

did you paint the rim white?

Yes, i have tape everything up and and went beyond and carefully painted the trim white no glossy to match the stand.

Why is there a dild0 in your fishtank?

my turn =)

Jealous....very nice.

50 Breeder but it's close enough i hope. I've added some more SPS since this pic though.

Updated Shot

So my 40br is no longer with me, but I figured I'd throw it up here for reference purposes in case anyone would like to follow the design. This design did not require any power heads and had GREAT flow characteristics. I am a huge Vortech fan now, but I know that tank would not have needed it.

Some pics of the tank before I tore it down:

Hope you guys enjoyed this "old school" HOT5 lit tank from 2008 lol.
