What equipment are you using? Bulb combo? I'm going to be starting a 40 breeder build in next few weeks and have a 4 bulb T5 fixture also.

What is that Monti called, or the brownish orange with green polyps? I have one that looks just like it (Except mine is WAY Smaller) and I am letting it grow around a branch rock and it is so far taking to the edges and molding.

Nice looking tank also!

Wow that's scape is awesome. I hope you've got enough flow going through there to keep away from dead spots tho. What is your equipment list?? As well as your stocking?

Is that a clown tang I see? Those fish are absolutely beautiful. I have a 40breeder as well. You just can't go wrong with the dimensions.

What are your plans for this setup? Lookin good so far!

atm I don't have a lot of fish,
Clown tang
Lawnmower blenny
Satan spawned six line wrasse
25 or so hermets
2 peppermint shrimp
5 Mexican turbos
12 astrea's
and a snowflake clown in the sump... keeping him away from the six line ATM they seem to be mortal enemys.

am looking for a chevron tang and a matching snowflake clown.
and I really want one of those true colorodo nems that gonzo is famous for. an maybe a small school of cromis or smaller antheas.



my plans for this system are kinda involved and evolving. I have alot of equipment in storage. this 40b is getting reef radiance LED's (the 155e) a soon as they get here.. I have 2 jabeo wp-10's on order one should be here tomorrow ....atm I m running a maxijet 900 for circulation. this sysem will be hooked into a 65 gal 4' tank that will be running 2 150watt DE MH with 96 watt PCs I am also wanting to run a 20 long as a refugium with a mangrove or 2 in it...working with a carpenter on designs. atm it is just sketches on graft paper. there is a current equipment list up a bit in this thread. I have a 1/2 chiller auto top off and dual dosing system on the way from a friend that's getting out of the hobby.
thank for looking 8) if u have any recommendations or suggestions please fire away. I am an old school reefer that got out of the hobby 8 years ago and am trying to catch up knowledge wise to the new way's!

Awesome! That's gonna be a nice set up! I'd be careful with putting a chevron in with your clown tang. Also, the tang police might come get you hehe. If I could, I'd keep two tangs in my 40breeder as well.

Thanks 8)) LoL tang police!!! sad but true ....unfortunately its kinda needed to keep people informed on what there getting but sometimes it does go bit overboard. I already ate a little bit over the clown tang.... but tbh I should have researched him before I bought him.... I knew better .... he will prolly go back to the store when I move or have the chance....not tearing down my scape for it tho.
