I got this awesome looking feather duster from petco today. Basically saved his life because the other Feather duster worms they had were put into the sand upside down... I even told the guy and he said oh well and didnt even turn them over...! The link below is a video i put on my instagram. Since i dont know how to embed those thats how you view it. Its not spam I promise haha

The tank looks great. Everything looks so healthy and I like your coral selection.

Thank you! i am pretty satisfied so far with everything. I only have a few more spots that i could fit more coral. I want a gold torch

You must be partial to LPS which I am also. I think that is one reason I like your tank alot.

Havent checked on my tank in a month and came back for its first water change since it has been running its self. Nothing big has happened and everything is growing. just had some Cyano algae growing on the sand bed from me being away and not taking care of it everyday. But i did a 5 gallon water change and everythings great!! koffmAT.jpghnC7DX8.jpg

Love your 40G! Looks great. The dropcam setup is sweet idea! I've got one as well but I am using it as a baby monitor at the moment lol. This thread makes me want to pull the empty 40G B out of my basement and set it up lol. Keep updating!

Thanks!! i love the layout of a 40 gallon breeder tank its great. And i will update as much as i can. my tank actually runs its self in the summer right now cause i am working in a different town, hence the webcam haha

Lol that's pretty awesome. Out of curiosity, what do you have your light schedule set to?

 

starts @ 8am at 3/0 then by 2pm its 100/70 and stays like that for 2 hours then ramps down to 3/0 by midnight

Very interesting. I like that schedule. I've got an AI Nano that kicks on at like 12 and ramps up to 50/50/20 by 1 or 2 (I can't remember specifically) and at about 10PM it drops down to zeros by 11. I wonder if having a longer ramp up time and down time over the course of the day would be better. It would certainly allow for longer viewing periods.

Beautiful tank! Great mix of corals and fish, looks really mature. Nice photography too! Getting this quality photography under reef lighting really baffles me. I suppose I'll need to learn that, too. Keep posting!

I am sorry about your flame hawk fish. They are cool. The tank is lookin' good. I can't imagine having my tanks run themselves. That is some major trust in all the automatic equipment! Do you feed the fish with an automatic fish feeder too?
