40 Gal Tank Build

[jgabbsxx]

Hi Everyone!

I recently got into saltwater tanks as of this year! I currently have a 40G reef tank & wanted to show off the current progress i have made!
Fish in the tank are : Niger Trigger, 2 Black Ocellaris Clowns, Purple Tang, Yellow Coris Wrasse, & a Melanurus Wrasse.
Corals in the tank are : Rose BTA, Green Torch, Aussie Purple Torch, Frogspawn, Green Hammer, & a few Zoas! I currently have a torch & frammer otw from California tomorrow that I will update this thread with!

Any tips, comments, concerns, or just appreciation are all welcome. I am new to this hobby as I said but I am fully invested!

Looks good.
I too run a 40 gallon with HOB equipment.
I'm at almost 2 years (1.5 years since starting soft corals) and you have at least as much, if not more, variety than I do ... been taking it slow.

Geez haven't updated this in a while.

Went through a horrid algae bloom that is now irradicated. Lost a few of my corals along the way including a hammer, frogspawn, and 2 torches I upgraded my tank lighting to 2 AI Prime 16hd and have seen a great growth in some of my corals that were still in the tank.

Fish stock list as of today:
Niger Trigger
Purple Tang (swear to god this fish is missing brain cells)
Clown Tang (best friend to my half dumb purple tang)
Yellow Coris Wrasse
Melanurus Wrasse

Future Tank Plans :
Still trying to decide the tank size that I am upgrading to here soon because plumbing/location is going to be an issue no matter how big I go from this 40G.

I'll post some tank update pictures tonight when I get home!
