Ehh alright. I’d prefer aquatic life hybrid
And u can just add leds later on

 

[40g Nano]

36” t5 hybrid with dual ai primes I guess

I am setting up my 40 Breeder as well. I spent about a week watching Bulk reef supply led Videos. Their suggestion for a 40 breeder was 2 or 3 Ai prime fixtures. And if you really want to go all out with sps add an aquatic life t5 fixture. Or the slightly cheaper option of the maxspect razor.

You could even do the 24” too in order to save some cash

 

[40g Nano]

It’s only $30 for a foot extra

Maybe reefbreeders is the right way to go
I’m only in high school and don’t have much money to spend

I’m in highschool too! And started college earlier and in flight school lol. I feel for you. I have over $1000 invested in my tank. All of which is my money. Go look for used ai primes and used reef breeders

Does anyone have experience with Red Sea 50 led

 

[brett_schn]

Go with the primes over the Red Sea IMO

 

[40g Nano]

Ok

 

[40g Nano]

Sump is about done

[40g Nano]

What lights to get. I like kessil, but don’t know what model. Two a160s? A a360we?

I’ll follow along. I have a 40b and enjoy seeing what others do with theirs! Looks like a good start.

2 a360we. Or 2 ai prime 16hd or hydra 32

 

[40g Nano]

I don’t think I can afford 2 360we, so maybe just two a160s
