40g long tank for a shallow reef

GraveKone · Jan 22, 2021

Ready for my second reef tank and I’m wanting to do a 40g shallow reef but I can’t seem to find any online anyone have recommendations. Also looking for a light that would go with it, preferably with a app to control it with.

Current stocking plans:
3 multi banded pipefish

1 radial filefish

3 yellow striped cardinalfish

2 yasha goby

2 cleaner shrimp

SCA Aquariums custom made 48" x 18" x 14" Starfire glass with clear silicone. This is one of the nicest 40g tanks I have seen. Probably my next tank, as well. It would look nice with Orphek lighting. Not sure of your budget, though.

I would go with 2 A360X by @Kessil with narrow reflectors.
Could also go with the A700, which is at a great price right now.

It's one of their custom made sizes. It would be around $1300.

Been wanting to upgrade to another long style tank and I’m eye balling some of the stuff on Glasscages since 40long is an uncommon size.
They make a 40 long that is listed $145 bucks.
36inches long
18inches wide
13 inches tall.
