the_anti_honda Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Updated pic Ok so its time for me to start up another thread involving my NEW!!!!! (actually not so new) 40B.. I recently gave my AP24 away along with my ViaAqua and a few corals to consolidate my already hectic life. Ok so on with the tank specs then to the pics.. Aquarium: 40g AGA Breeder (its actually 45g's) Skimmer: AquaC Remora HOB (SOB) w/prefilter box Heater: Ebo Jajer 100watt Flow: 2x Hydor Koralia 4 Lighting: 2x 250watt Phoenix 14kk bulbs, dual Bluewave VII HQI ballast and SLS LumenMax III pendents. Right now I am manually dosing two part for ca and alk needs. I run carbon in the outlet side of the prefilter box 24/7. I hid my heater inside the skimmer body so its not in the tank. Starting to get color even in the shade Scripps Tri color A. Valida Link to comment
ProFlatlander15 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Awesome corals! I love 40BRs, that's definitely my next tank (unless I go bigger...). The aquascape is great, very unique. Link to comment
the_anti_honda Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Things will look way different as soon as I can get the other lights over the tank. I can arrange the rock like I want instead of having everything crammed under one light. Link to comment
ProFlatlander15 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Leave the rock! It looks sick! Link to comment
the_anti_honda Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Really? It can look WAY better! I had it setup with no corals in it and it looked BA positioned slightly different on the right hand side of the tank.. This side looks like I want I just need to mount the corals. Its actually very dark the picture makes it look brighter. I want the change the other side though. Link to comment
stoney waters Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thats freakin nice, I love your aqua scaping. Maybe its the shadows the single light casts.. it just looks cool. Link to comment

the_anti_honda Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 No its more like miss shaped heap of rocks LOL. Link to comment

nd12nc Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Love your acans, the colors are awesome. Sweet lookin tank Link to comment
Uhuru Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 nice. I'm planning a 40g breeder myself. I just posted yesterday that I don't see any 40B's and voila! Link to comment
the_anti_honda Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 nd12nc: Thank you for the compliments, I really strive for excellent color from my animals. Uhuru: Post a link to your aquarium! There are a few really nice 40BR floating around NR. You should also check out this one http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-01/totm/index.php! I'm trying a few new things with this tank to see how much better I can improve it over my last "small" setup. Vodka dosing is one of the things I have been fiddling with for some time now.

pattymelt Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 hey anti-lancer i think "your" box fish really like to eat pattymelts and dalias pizza. Link to comment
the_anti_honda Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 pattymelt: Ok since you paid for them in all honesty I guess they can be yours. But I fed them LOL!!! Call me up when your in the area so you can get your frags... Link to comment
musicawal Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Beautiful tank, can't wait to see it after you get the lighting and aquascaping finished. What is "vodka" dosing? Dosing vodka literally?. If so what does this accomplish? Link to comment
PieNinja Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 That's a nice looking tank, TAH. Keep the rockwork just the way it is - it's not the standard "pile of rocks" aquascaping. Nice acans too - fragging anytime soon? Link to comment
the_anti_honda Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 PieNinja: I will have acan frags at the SoCal Meet N' Swap III and depending on what I have left after that I might ship some out. I have had a few people interested but no one follow through. By the way I love your name. musicawal: Yes literally dosing vodka into my aquarium. Its a lengthly discussion to go into but here is some information you can read up on. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-10/eb/index.php and http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-11/...ature/index.php I dose a bit different then most do and it has been working for me well. My corals all have a "neon" appearance to them. Even the brown looks good LOL! Thank you all for the kind words. I just hope it turns out alright down the line. Link to comment
PieNinja Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Depending on what acan colors ya have left after the SoCal M&S III, I might be interested in getting some stuff shipped out. Keep me in mind dude Keep up the nice work on your tank! Link to comment
