40 Breeder AIO

[NickSc]

I was curios on what dimension you would make your chambers in your AIO 40 breeder. This is a pic of my DIY AIO 40 breeder. I made the chambers 4 and half inches wide to fit a 4 inch sock filter.

4” wide and two compartments

With a 40b I like that it is deeper than it is tall so I would want to keep that depth. I would go peninsula style to the left sized to the components I'm using.

I would love to see pictures if you have built an AIO 40 breeder.

I made a 40B all in one.

This an awesome aio. I like your design. Did you uses a cnc or a router for your acrylic work?

I used a really cheap bench top milling machine to cut the acrylic.

I'm planning on upgrading my aio 40 gallon breeder and start up a new build thread. But does anyone have any suggestions on a rimless 4 to 5 feet long tank? By the way my 40 breeder has been up for 7 years.

If you're handy at all, building a rimless tank is pretty easy. Source your glass, only constrained by your imagination.

Do you have any links to how to build your tank?

Page 30 of my build thread starts me building my frag tank.

There are a few really good YouTube instructional videos as well that I watched.

Just in case if anyone was curious about the stand. Its just a petco stand where I cut some thin plywood and created my shelves. I keep my auto top off container inside. I also used magnets to hold the pieces of plywood, so I could chnage them out later to fit different styles or seasons. It's also a good child proof system. No handles.

Very nice

So, I am finally getting control of the hair alage. I'm thinking of starting two part dosing. What product would recommend and is a dosing pump worth it? Which dosing pump would you use?

 

[NickSc]

So, I have decided I am going to start dosing my tank. These are the products I've decided to use at first. But I plan on trying out seachem next. Let me know what you think. Also, if all goes good I will probably get a dosing pump.

Heck out the new frag tank I’m putting together. My tank is getting a little wild so it is time to frag. It’s a jbj desktop aquarium. I am currently modifying the filter.
