40 breeder

Hi Everyone, I’ve been hesitant to post but I finally figured that it could be helpful. I originally was going to build a 20g long but after doing a lot of research I decided to start with a 40 breeder. I have slowly been buying all my equipment and I still have a few things left that I want to...

JUST A LITTLE PROJECT I DID WITH TWO TANKS I HAD LYING AROUND ONE WAS A 40 BREEDER THE OTHER WAS A 29 GALLON BIOCUBE, TAKING THE FALSE WALL OUT OF THE CUBE WAS ALOT EASIER WHEN YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE REST OF THE TANK...LOL

So, this is my build thread. I am going to be putting together a 55 gallon cube, a 40 gallon breeder and a home made 40 gallon cube. ANd the sump might be home made too.. Its all just getting tossed together as a single unit.. so to speak. They are going to share water through a shared...

Well before we get into the 40 Breeder it has been a privilege to care for nearly 2 years now, I figure I should start with my original baby the 20 High, and the story of my decision process of selecting a new tank and the transition from one tank to another. This was my 20 high reef tank...

I want to add an easy care starfish to my 40 gallon breeder tank. It's been running for 2 years. So far no Corals, but will add in the future. I was thinking about a sand sifting starfish. Any suggestions. In my tank: Reef crabs Conch snail Turbo snail 2 clown fish 2 dartfish

Im trying to get the most flow using the least amount of gph from my return pump and the only way of doing this is by tapering the flow. I currently have 3/4 return plumbed into 3/4 locline with dual circular nozzles. I ordered 3/4 inch flare nozzles from brs but the fittings are too loose so I...

Been a lurker for a while, but I'd thought I'd start up a build thread and share what I have going on. I started reefing with a 12G Fluval Edge about 3 years ago and it took all of about 6 months for me to upgrade to my first "adult" tank. My Red Sea Reefer 250 has been running for exactly 912...

I have a 40 breeder and I’m currently only using the return pump as my only source of flow and have been looking in to getting a wave maker. I think I only need/want 1 for now. I see Jabao pp, ow, sow, and rw series they all look the same to me and cost about the same?? Which one is the newest...

I have a 40b with a maroon clown and a watchman goby. The last two fish I had were a damsel (lasted 3 days) and a six line (lasted 3 weeks). After looking at every option on what is going wrong with newly introduced fish my best guess is the clownfish attacked. The symptoms of both fish were...

Anyon have a 36" 4 bulb t5 over your reef and happen to have a par meter? I have one 8" over a 40b and was wondering w/o the investment what the #'s are. My rocks are pretty low so probably about 14" from the rocks to the light.

*Deep breath* Okay, bear with me here- I'm a newbie with a lot of questions! I'm slowly putting together a 120g build and I did a search for 40b sump plans and got a lot of ideas. I measured the stuff I have, and I *think* I've figured out something that might work, with some clarifications from...

Im wondering which return pump i get. I am building a 40g. With the sump minus sand and rocks i should be at +- 60g. It will be pumping up about 3 1/2' - 4' head. What should turnover w/o power heads be. Ive heard 4times on the low end and 10 on the triton method. What are you all running?

Well, after watching so many reef build thread I think is time to start my new saltwater tank thread build progress, a 40 Gallons breeder. I'm still on the process of selling my 55 gallons tank with couple of discus and a Angelfish and use that $$ for the new project, that way I can just focus...

Hey everybody, I have one Koralia nano 425 in my 40 breeder. I also have a Seachem Tidal Power Filter 55 providing some flow. My question is, do you think I need another powerhead or is my flow already strong enough?

Most Recent FTS: 7/28/18 "Wow, another 40 breeder build." - You, probably Hey everybody, I'm documenting my progress on my first ever reef tank. I've been in the freshwater hobby for a while now, but this is my first venture into the saltwater world. A little bit of backstory- I had a 20...

Ok. I know what your thinking, "Another 40b ?" Well me too. I've had nano tanks recenty and a 50 tall some time ago. I just always wanted a 40b. I really like the dimensions. Lots of depth not too tall and 3ft long. Well now I have one and decided to start a thread. Mostly for the journal...

I just bought a 40 gallon br tank and have a stand that says it can support it. I measured the stand at 35.5 inches and the tank is 36 exactly. Is it ok to have the aquarium overhang .25 inches on each side? Width is perfectly fine, plenty of room. I had a 56 gallon column tank on it for about a...

Looking for a 40 Gallon Breeder to make a DIY sump.

Here's the rock scape. Once I have sand in it I will be adding some small rubble to the left structure to blend it in a bit better. I'm currently torn between 3 options because as you know much like everything in this hobby......its the great debate. Iv narrowed it down to 3 options. #1-...

Hi all. Bought my own aquarium (29g FW) when I was in third grade. I think I can count on my hand the number of years I haven't had a tank set up :) I've kept SW tanks for the past 8-9 years. Currently I have: - 40 breeder mixed reef tank with a 30 breeder sump on a DIY 3 tier stand -...

Hey Guys! Noob to R2R here and just wanted to share a video and photos of my first attempt at a reef tank that just turned 1 year old. It's a 40 breeder reef, peninsula style, and bare bottom. Here's a list of the equipment that run my tank! Tank Size: 40 Breeder Display (bare bottom)...
