Yep, another one......

The 20H is fine and dandy, but I absolutely love the look of the 40 breeder tanks I've seen... and I want to be part of that cool kid club, so here we go! It's basically going to be a 20H upgrade, with all of it's inhabitants being transferred into this tank. All the frags currently in the frag tank will help fill this one out and the 15gal. will...... be re-purposed.

Thanks! And correct! No drilling, no sump, no skimmer, etc. smile.gif

Wooo Hoo, Lani joined the cool kids club! smile.gif I'm picking up my 40 breeder tomorrow, it's a great size tank. But seriously lani, drill it, i wasn't going to but then weetie and everyone said too, peer pressure! Even my dad was telling me get it drilled, he didn't drill 75 but has a hob overflow and loves the extra room in the sump and kept ranting about how the display would look cluttered.
Pickle010
Do it!!!!! Drill it!!!!!!

You won't regret it. (or I can send you my hob fuge after I redo my system)

No plans for SPS... other than that possible setosa hitcher... it's growing really well in the 20H right now, BRIGHT pink.
Nick's Reef
lani, go to a glass shop or lfs and get it drilled, only costing me $10.

lani, guess you really don't want to drill it, that's fine, but why get the 6x39 tek if ur only having that one monti? I'd go with a 4x39w instead but then again 6x39w is not that much more.
