40 Gallon Breeder-Lets see Em'

[sir_dudeguy]

IMO yes. the 150 will not cover even close to the whole tank unless its way high off the tank...at which point you're losing tons of light.

4x39w t5's are just under 120w total...so right there you're at less cost to run it (not by a lot i know, but over time it builds up). Then the fact that the bulbs last a really long time and are cheap.

sorry for the crappy pics, I'm new at this. The tank is approaching 2 months, and is my first saltwater tank.

[wsun083]

those are some amazing tanks... how do you take the rim off of these tanks and make them rimless?

[Daemonfly]

If you're asking about salty child 79's tank, it's not a 40g breeder, it's an ADA tank, and comes that way. ADAs are all tempered though, so no drilling anywhere.

Sweet tank
I got my light in last week and it looks brand new. The legs were still in the plastic wrapping and hadn't even been opened. The DE bulb is 10K but it looks a lot bluer then I had expected.

150 Watt MH with 2 x 75 VHO Actinics.

I'm still building mine, but if you'd like you can click the red house to see the progress. Should be ready for a water test VERY soon.

I'm thinking about setting up a 50, which is I guess just a little taller than the 40 breeder but otherwise the same...glad I found this thread. I do love the shape of the tank. Its interesting to see how some of these look so packed full and some more open but I like both. I was thinking it needed to be totally packed to look good but I see its not true.

Salty child 79 I especially love the open water look you've achieved in your tank.

Some nice looking tanks for sure.

The 58 gallon is also the same footprint. 36"x 18"

[doryarlin955]

salty child 79 is that a sun coral in the middle/right side? I've never seen or heard of a green one before, unless it just looks green from the actinics?

Looks like a neon green trumpet to me.


Here are a couple new shots of my tank.

[James11]

Everything looks great, I wish I could get mine up and going. If anyone knows when Petco is going to have another $1 per gallon sale let me know, please. Keep the great pics coming.

[salty child 79]

Thanks.

Yes, My tank is an ADA. And no it is not tempered.

The coral on the right side is a neon trumpet colony.

It looks different! No clam! And you've added a tang, among other changes.

How much time between these pictures and the last?
