Skimmerless 40 Breeder @ 3 years

How many W.P.G

Goregeous! How do you keep the back wall so clean even in the spots down behind the rocks?

wow, your colors look fantastic! great job!

Yeah, how you keep it so clean? It looks awesome!

Beautiful! Doesn't look like you have any fish.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Here are some tank specs:

Tank: AGA 40 gallon breeder. Started 12/7/05. Many of the Corals and LR were transferred from my previous tank, an 18 month old 30G.

Mechanical Filtration: Modified HOB AqauClear 200 with in-tank surface skimmer.

Biological filtration: 35lbs of LR from Fiji, Marshall Islands, and Tonga. Various types of macro algae.

Lighting: 4x39 watt T5s overdriven to 64 watts each. One of each: ATI Blue Plus, ATI Aqua Blue Special, UVL Superactinic, GE 6500K Daylight.

The tank is sumpless and is home to mostly LPS and softies.

Fish are as follows: 2 Green Chromies, Yellow Watchman Goby, Blue Orangetail Damsel, Dragonface Pipefish.

The back glass is kept clean with a magfloat and razor. The rockwork is in the center of the tank so there is plenty of room for cleaning. Lots of chaeto is hidden behind the rock work to create an "in-tank" fuge.

wonderful and colorful

that tank is GREAT

nice, good job

Love it!

standing in awe....

man that looks really good I give it a ten !

Nice 40breeder!

That's the way to do it skimmerless. I never had a problem even with all the soft coral i have in my 20 gallon. Great Job...

beautiful

WOWZER!!!!!

this is a really nice mature tank.

This is... I can't the words to describe it. Great job.

This is the tank I hope to aspire to! I'm new at this so forgive my questions. What is your feeding regimen for your tank? The tank appears to have a shallow sandbed, is there a reason for this?

I have a lot of learning to do. It's stunning tank!

I look at this tank picture everyday!

Very nice tank mate

Salty Frag ~ I feed my fish 1-2 times a day and my corals at night 3 times a week or so. I have a shallow sandbed because I prefer to keep it stirred up and free of detritus.
